An impressive 17th-century Jacobean mansion, Chipchase Castle is a wonderful estate that is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade I listed. The castle was owned by various prominent figures who each added their own touch to the castle. In 1734, it was bought by banker John Reed who added a classical facade to the old tower.

The castle is still privately owned today. Author Paul Torday who wrote the novel Salmon Fishing in the Yemen lived here with his second wife. You can visit the grounds year-round, but the house is only open in June. More information: chipchasecastle.com
