Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens

At Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens you’ll visit an 18th Century Formal Gardens and Local Nature Reserve Parkland (Grade2*). This attraction is easily reaches from Birmingham and is a great day out for all the family.

Experience 10 acres of a unique survival of 350 year old early 18th century formal garden design. The walled garden, once part of the Earl of Bradford’s estate, rescued, nurtured and owned by an independent Charitable Trust. A further 30 acres of the former estate’s historic Parkland, now a Local Nature Reserve, encircles the formal garden. Keeping largely to a period-relevant style with plant species and heritage fruit from 1680-1760 it’s like visiting the Baroque countryside in the middle of a 21st century city.

If you’re looking for some family fun and things to do with the children, from craft and nature based activities for children, to blossom picnics and outdoor music and theatre, there is always something happening in the Gardens.

Find our outdoor Courtyard Cafe, which is free to visit, buy homemade cakes and locally made savouries and snacks.

Parking is free and there are disabled parking bays close to the entrance gates. There is level access to the courtyard café. The grounds are either lawn or gravel paths – some on a slope. Wheelchairs are available to use.
