Lovely place to visit. Well kept friendly goats, beautiful grounds, very friendly and helpful team members.
A completely unknown little place In Baginton, privately maintained by volunteers, small castle ruins, goats, a river walk, some fish ponds and a tank testing track. Who knew!!! A very pleasant way to kill a few hours. Free parking and amenities. Will gladly return.
First had a look at the ruins back in the early 80s. Totally overgrown but very interesting. An old Tramp lived within the site at the time. Still got some photos. I must make a return visit now it has been cleared. I wonder what happened to the Tramp?
Was on English Heritage there, it was free entry, just for donations. Have a free car park. Other day admission is £5 for adults and £2.50 for children 5 years and older. Great nature trail, walk and lots of seating places with picnic tables with view of river
A stunning place to visit, we soon found when we got there that it is not only castle ruins to see. As well as the castle and gazebo there is a beautiful Riverside Walk, 2 fishing ponds and tank testing site. We also enjoyed feeding the goats and a well earned cuppa when we got back to exit. Staff were friendly and most helpful. We didn't see the Kingfisher, but saw a Jay, damselflies and Mayflies, lots of butterflies and a rabbit whilst walking around. The Teddy bears picnic and wooden rabbits and owls were great to see, and found a ribbon that one of the rabbits were missing and tied it back on.
