One of England's finest Tudor houses lived in by the Throckmorton family for over 600 years.
Facing persecution for their Catholic faith, they were willing to risk everything. Their fascinating story is told through ‘Cabinets of Curiosities: 600 years of Catholic Treasures’ – artefacts and curios that ere hidden away, then proudly displayed as the family gained freedom to practise their faith. Coughton is still very much a family home with an intimate feel; in fact the Throckmorton family still live here and they created and managed the stunning gardens, which include a riverside walk, bog garden and beautiful display of roses in the walled garden. Note: maximum three groups per day. Admission by timed ticket to house at weekends and on busy days. No groups on Bank Holidays.
