Charlecote Park, Manor house museum in Charlecote, England.
The red brick Tudor mansion sits on 185 acres along the River Avon, featuring formal gardens and a deer park with fallow deer.
Sir Thomas Lucy constructed the grand residence in 1558, and Queen Elizabeth I stayed in what currently serves as the drawing room.
The Tudor great hall displays a 1680 painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller, depicting one of the earliest documented Black individuals in the West Midlands.
The National Trust manages the property, providing guided tours of the house, access to the gardens, and seasonal activities throughout the year.
Local tales connect William Shakespeare to the estate, suggesting he faced magistrates for deer poaching in the park during his youth.
