Eastnor Castle is a magnificent Georgian Castle dramatically situated in the foothills of the Malverns, near Ledbury, Herefordshire and is surrounded by a beautiful deer park, lake and arboretum. The castle is still the home of the Hervey-Bathurst family and its lavish interiors contain medieval armour, fine art and a Gothic Drawing Room designed by A.W.Pugin.
In the grounds there is plenty to do for all ages including an adventure playground, junior obstacle course, knight’s maze, treetop walkway, woodland play area, children’s fun sheets, lakeside walks and woodland walks. The arboretum contains the finest collection of Cedars in Britain and has tree trails and rope swings. There is a Kitchen cafe serving light lunches, tea, coffee and cakes, an ice-cream parlour and a large picnic area with tables on the Valley Lawn.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 17/12/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
Hi Chris
Eastnor Castle is used by Land Rover, they have a large off-road testing course there.
Did you get any footage of it by any chance?
Cheers
Steve
Sadly not. I wasn’t aware of that, being new to this area. I took off from the east, flew across the frozen lake and took some photos and came back. I can see on the map there is “Land Rover Experience” to the west of the castle. But it doesn’t look more than a carpark. Gutted I missed that maze though!
Great pictures.
Spent many a happy hour at various Land Rover shows at Eastnor Castle.
The Major that originally owned it was a Land Rover enthusiast and allowed the company to use the grounds for testing and vehicle development.
They also trained the participants of the Camel Trophy at Eastnor.
When he passed away the family took over and the link with Land Rover stopped.
Sometimes, those are the best ones
