Flower Delivery to Eastnor Castle with Clare Florist

Used as a filming location or backdrop for television programmes like The Amazing Race and films such as One More Time and The Canterville Ghost, Eastnor Castle is both impressive and gorgeous. Not only is the physical structure a marvel to look at, but the grounds are equally impressive as well. As such, it's no wonder why the castle and grounds have been used for so many activities over the years.

Weddings are one of the most popular events held at the castle. Although the area is already lovely as it is, some Eastnor Castle flowers have also been added for a more romantic effect. Apart from weddings, other events such as parties, team building and corporate meetings have been held at the castle.

HISTORY

John Cocks, 1st Earl of Somers, founded the castle in the village of Eastnor to serve as his stately home. The Cocks were able to purchase land in the area during the 16th century. The families of Somers and Nash are related to the Cocks through marriage and as such, their combined wealth was able to bring to fruition Eastnor Castle. The castle was designed to resemble a medieval castle standing guard on the Welsh border.

Today, the castle is still owned by the descendants of John Cocks. It's current owner is James Hervey-Bathurst, grandson of the 6th Baron Somers, Arthur Somers-Cocks.

THE CASTLE

Eastnor Castle is impressive both inside and out. Inside, you will be treated to the sight of medieval armour, fine art and tapestries. A visit inside the castle will take you to the marvellous state rooms such as the Great Hall, State Dining Room, Gothic Drawing Room, Octagon Saloon, as well as a look at several grand bedrooms.

You will be led around the castle by a guide that is friendly and well informed on anything there is to know about the castle.

THE GROUNDS

The castle is surrounded by a lake and a gorgeous arboretum. What's impressive about the collection of trees the estate has is their size. The biggest and oldest ones were planted during the second half of the 19th century, a time when Victorians were passionate about collecting plants. The Earls Somers, the 2nd and 3rd in particular, were fond of collecting seeds during their travels and some of those now grow in the arboretum.

ACTIVITIES & AMENITIES

Children can have lots of fun at the castle grounds too. There is an adventure playground, a junior assault course, a knight's maze, a mini zip-wire and Land Rover Little Off Roaders.

A tea room is available if you want to drink or grab a bite to eat. There is also a gift shop if you want to buy some mementoes for the folks back home. A Valley Lawn complete with picnic benches is also available should you fancy a picnic.

Overlooking the castle and the Malvern Hills is the Eastnor Deer Park Campsite which plays host to camping and caravanning in the summer months.
