Set in the peaceful Wiltshire countryside beside a lake, Old Wardour Castle, near Tisbury was once one of the most daring and innovative homes in Britain. It was built in the 14th century as a lightly fortified luxury residence for comfortable living and lavish entertainment.
Today the castle ruin provides a relaxed, romantic day out for couples, families and budding historians alike. Visitors can still climb the turrets and even imagine themselves as extras in the Hollywood blockbuster movie, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, part of which was filmed here. Throughout the summer there are events linked to the Robin Hood story with storytelling and children’s activities.
