Historic Houses in Herefordshire

Berrington Hall is a marvellous example of a neoclassical stately home, designed by architect Henry Holland, and set like a jewel amid gardens and parkland laid out by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. The exterior of Berrington is restrained, even severe, in style, but when you enter the house everything changes; the interiors are extravagant, opulent, and quite simply stunning, with vividly painted ceilings and striking grand staircase. Berrington houses the Wade Collection of historical costumes.

Eastnor Castle is an ornate mock castle begun in 1811 by the 2nd Lord Somers (later Earl Somers) to provide a home more suited to his elevated status as a peer of the realm. The interior furnishings are sumptuous, befitting the amazing decor. Eastnor is remarkable if only to wonder at the ego that would demand its erection!

Sufton Court is an attractive late 18th-century neo-classical manor house built by James Wyatt for James Hereford. The Hereford family owned the Mordiford estate since 1140, so the current manor is just the latest in a long line of family homes here.
