Croft Castle, Medieval castle in Croft and Yarpole, England
The stone castle features a quadrangular layout with round corner towers and multiple stone mullion windows surrounding a central courtyard.
The Croft family maintained ownership of the estate from 1085 until the 18th century, later repurchasing it in 1923 and transferring it to National Trust in 1957.
The interior displays family portraits dating to Sir Herbert Croft from 1671, including a John Constable painting of Elizabeth Lewis in the dining room.
The ground floor offers complete accessibility through a ramp system, while virtual tours provide an alternative for visitors with mobility limitations.
The estate contains a three-acre walled garden and ancient Sweet Chestnut trees planted over 400 years ago, alongside the historic Fishpool Valley.
