This 19th-century castle has got to be seen to be believed. Looking like it's wandered out of a storybook, its construction began in 1811 for 1st Earl Somers. A section of the castle is still occupied as a residence but much is made available for weddings, events, filming locations and public access during the summer months.

With extensive parkland, visiting Eastnor could easily turn into a half-day affair and you'll have to drag yourself away as its architecture is so commanding.
