National Trust - Moseley Old Hall — Attraction in South Staffordshire

We had such a wonderful trip here last weekend. The trees are just starting to change colour into their autumn shades, so the woodland was gorgeous. We spent time chatting with the ducks at their pond and they were showing off their beautiful feathers. We went for a walk in the woods and had so much fun climbing up to the very top of the tree castle! We loved seeing the formal gardens and enjoyed the variety of styles in each section. We had a tour by Gary, who was a fantastic guide, learning so much about the history and experiences of King Charles when he visited. The house was spectacular and was really brought to life with the story. We also enjoyed the second hand book shop- we both found books to take home and add to our collection. Wonderful team here and a wonderful place to visit. The car park was easy to find and very close to the entrance with plenty of spaces. There was a delicious smell of cooked food coming from the cafe, but we didn't stop to taste it as we had just eaten a picnic lunch before we arrived. The toilet facilities were clean and well stocked and easily accessible. We had a lovely time and look forward to coming back in...

Absolutely fabulous! Picked this National Trust as a pit stop instead of services (as its just of the M54) and what a brilliant place it is! The lead-in road is a bit narrow and full of pot holes but there is ample parking and a short walk to the entrance! We timed it perfectly to take a trip to the cafe for an iced coffee (perfect for a heatwave!) and a pasty before joining the 'King Charles' tour. We were so glad we opted for the tour as the house has a fascinating history and had an important role in the preservation of the royal family in the UK. Cathy, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining and gave us an hour long tour and brought this incredible 17th century house to life. What a gem of a place this is. I instantly went online to buy a book which would detail Kind Charles 2nds adventures escaping Cromwell as I was so inspired! Thoroughly recommend a trip here and I recommend booking on the history tour when you get...
