Ladywell Castle, perched atop the picturesque Herefordshire hills between the Cotswolds and Welsh Marches, is a magnificent 19th-century medieval-style castle set within a sprawling 5,000-acre estate. Renowned for its fairy-tale ambiance and opulent interiors, this exclusive venue is ideal for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations.
The castle's interior exudes grandeur, featuring a 60-foot high Great Hall that can accommodate up to 150 guests, making it perfect for large gatherings. The Gothic drawing room and state dining room, which seats up to 80 guests, showcase exquisite craftsmanship and house a vast collection of art treasures and medieval armour. Notably, the opulent gold-columned Pugin Room, designed by the architect famed for the interiors of the Houses of Parliament, adds a touch of historical elegance. The castle boasts 12 individually designed bedrooms, many spacious enough to serve as suites, each reflecting the era's love of artisan decoration. Guests can also enjoy the billiards room and explore the extensive wine cellar.
The exterior of Ladywell Castle is equally enchanting, with a fairy-tale entrance leading through classical parkland to acres of gardens—a tourist attraction in their own right. Guests can stroll through the meticulously landscaped grounds, picnic by the private lake, or navigate the Knight’s maze. For the adventurous, a daredevil highwire allows guests to glide from the tallest tower across the lake, providing an exhilarating experience. The estate also features a Land Rover specialist adventure centre, offering off-road experiences amidst the scenic landscape.
Beyond the estate, Herefordshire offers a wealth of attractions and activities. The region is known for its rolling countryside, historic market towns, and cultural heritage. Guests can explore local vineyards, indulge in spa treatments, or participate in estate fishing and shooting activities. The castle's knowledgeable staff, including a professional chef, are on hand to advise and assist guests in planning their stay, ensuring a bespoke and memorable experience.
Ladywell Castle's blend of historic charm, luxurious accommodations, and a wide array of on-site activities make it an exceptional venue for any event.
