There's been a castle here since the 11th century and the stone you see today was built in the 12th century. It's undergone expansions, sieges and modernisations across the centuries, making it fascinating to explore. It's managed by the National Trust so you can visit it for a fee or, if you're a member, for free.

I found it interesting that the Luttrell family still visits regularly and always likes to tell anecdotes about life “back in the castle”.
We also really liked the fitted kitchen from 1962, a sensation at the time, as it was hoped that this would save staff - "it cooks itself"
