Not all historic houses offer the same experience — and that’s part of their appeal.

Some are best for grand architecture and formal parkland, others for one or two spectacular rooms or their layered history. Some earn their interest byt simply being romantic ruins.

Choosing by mood rather than reputation often leads to the most satisfying visits.

Our historic houses guide explores ain interest and varied mix of estates across Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

Many historic houses in the Three Counties feel lived-in rather than preserved - and that’s no accident.

Instead of being frozen at a single moment in time, houses here were adapted, extended and reshaped over centuries as families, fortunes and fashions changed.

That evolution in action, keeping the buildings alive and relevant, is part of what makes visiting them so rewarding. Finding new purpose so that they remain accessible for people to enjoy is important work.

Our guide to some of our favourites is here:

Anyone who has been to Barton Court, or either of our cafes, will know Tina. She is not just our beloved gardener (but she certainly is that) she is also the backbone of what we do here: a dear friend and support.
Tina was going to help me with this weekend's Brocante Sale and next week's Paperwhite Planting in the house but she has been in the wars recently.
A couple of weeks ago she was attacked and badly bitten by a pack of three dogs outside her home. You can imagine how awful that must have been - on so many levels.
She was starting to heal, going stir crazy because she is such an outdoors person and wanted to be back in the garden so she rushed to get back to work. Now she has come down with a horrible cough, cold and chest infection that sounds a lot like covid.
She needs to rest up and get her strength back so we have cancelled the paperwhite planting and refunded everyone. You have all been really lovely and understanding so thank you for that.
This Saturday's Brocante Sale will still go ahead and we will do our best but it will not run as smoothly without her so please bear with us.
Fingers crossed she will be back on form soon and ready to make wonderful Christmas wreaths with you in December.

When you travel, pottering around in a food market is one of the easiest ways to get to experience the rhythm of local life.

Weekly town markets and monthly farmers’ markets bring local producers, bakers and growers into the heart of communities, offering seasonal food and a strong sense of place.

Our food markets guide brings together some of the most rewarding markets to explore where the Three Counties converge.

Markets are integral to the rhythm of local life.

Some run weekly, others monthly, and many change character with the seasons: spring greens, summer berries, autumn apples.

Experiencing a local market gives visitors a real insight into the locality.

Our guide includes when local food markets take place, making it easy to build them into a relaxed day out.

Buying food in a market bears no resemblance to supermarket shopping. There is no reason to rush in and rush out, fling things in a basket and get out at top speed.

The pleasure of a food market isn’t ticking items off a list.

It’s browsing, chatting, tasting and leaving with something you probably didn’t plan to buy because you tasted it and were enthralled by the story of its making.

Experience this slower approach to food. It's very rewarding.

Our latest blog details local food markets for you to enjoy.

Gardening runs deep in the Three Counties.

From historic landscape design and long-established gardens to specialist nurseries and nationally recognised plant shows, this is a region shaped as much by plants as by buildings.

Our gardens guide brings together some of the most rewarding places to visit for garden inspiration on the cusp of the Three Counties.
