Broughton Castle

Broughton Castle is a handsome fort and moat manor house made somewhat more famous recently through it's recognisable roles in Wolf Hall, Shakespeare in Love, The Madness of King George and - slightly less thespian - Three Men And A Little Lady! It's very grand and impressive and richly decorated in all sense of the word, so most people of all ages enjoy a stroll through the hallowed halls.

As well as the extensive parkland there is a nicely landscaped, partially walled garden to explore! This will feel pleasingly maze like to the really small ones with it's twisting but seamless privet borders, each containing fragrant and colourful hardy floral displays. It's technically known as The Ladies' Garden and there are several family size benches set around the edges for nan and granddad to rest for a bit while the munchkins explore the pleasant paths, a nice way to spend half an hour that'll stretch their legs a little!
