Coughton Court

Coughton Court has been home to the Throckmorton family for more than 600 years. Facing persecution for their Catholic faith, they were willing to risk everything. You can discover their story and find out about a family’s struggles, perseverance and intrigues, including their link to the infamous Gunpowder Plot. The Throckmorton family still live here and they created and manage the gardens, including a riverside walk, bog garden and beautiful display of roses in the walled garden.

Reopened this year, climb up the spiral staircase to the Tower Roof to enjoy views over the estate and take in the finished outcome from the large scale conservation project.

There is still more to enjoy away from the house and gardens. Timms Grove is perfect for little ones seeking natural play of balance beams, a mud kitchen, or music wall, and equally perfect for those wanting something a little less energetic to take a stroll through the ancient woodland, or a visit to the café for a relaxing cream tea.
