Originally built in 1300, Broughton Castle is a beautiful medieval fortified manor house surrounded by a wide moat and farmland. The house has witnessed centuries of interesting history: from hosting Kings to Civil War battles.

During the 19th century, the house fell into decay until it was rescued by the 16th Baron Saye and Sele with the help of Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott.

In more modern history, you may recognise the house from its appearance in the film Shakespeare in Love or the TV series Keeping Up Appearances. Although the house is privately owned (by the same family since 1377), it is open to the public from April to September every Wednesday and Sunday from 2 - 5pm. Tickets for adults cost £10.
