This Grade I listed manor in Cleeve Prior showcases English architecture spanning several centuries, with parts of the building dating back to the 15th century.
As a private home, it's not regularly open to the public, but you can get a good sense of its impressive scale and character by walking the village footpaths and lanes that pass nearby. The mature gardens occasionally open for charity events and designated open days, which are worth keeping an eye out for if you want to see inside and explore properly.
What's particularly appealing about the manor is that it's remained a family residence throughout its history, so it's retained much of its original character without undergoing heavy restoration or becoming overly commercialised. This continuity has preserved a genuine sense of how it actually functions as a home rather than a museum piece.
Cleeve Prior makes a pleasant stop if you're traveling through this part of the Cotswolds. Evesham's market town is just a short drive away and offers shops and amenities, while Stratford-upon-Avon is equally accessible from here. You could easily spend time exploring the manor's exterior and the village itself before venturing out to visit other attractions in the surrounding area.
