Threads of History: Astley Castle Open Days
Astley Castle, 1 Church Lane, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 7QN
The ancient moated site of Astley Castle holds award-winning modern accommodation clasped within the shell of a medieval castle. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the huge living room and kitchen look out over Astley's church and into beautiful internal courts formed by ruined spaces. This a rare chance to see inside The Landmark Trust's conversion, normally let for short holiday breaks.
Come and explore the new accommodation hidden within the ruined walls, explore the knot garden and grounds, and find out more about its history through our footpath trails.
