An English Heritage site, Witley Court offers something for everyone. It's immense ruined mansion - razed to a dramatic roofless shell by an accidental fire in 1937 - reveals how the house developed into a palatial Victorian trophy house designed for extravagant entertaining.
Don't miss out on the astonishing restored Perseus and Andromeda fountain; one of the greatest in Europe. Sitting in front of the great house, and surrounded by beautiful gardens, it helps to make Witley Court one of the gems of the West Midlands.
