Near the village of Hartpury, towards the western edge of the Cotswolds, stands Corse Court Farm, a Grade I listed manor house with centuries of history embedded in its walls.

During the English Civil War, it served as a significant Royalist stronghold, and King Charles I stayed here on several occasions, making it a crucial location in the conflict. The building itself tells its own story through its architecture, with features from different periods reflecting the various eras it has lived through.

Since it remains a private residence, you won't be able to visit the interior under normal circumstances. That said, you can appreciate its imposing presence and historical importance from the surrounding lanes and footpaths that circle the property. Occasionally, it opens its doors for specific heritage events, which gives you a rare chance to see inside this significant building. Hartpury itself is a small rural village, so if you're planning to explore the area more thoroughly, Gloucester nearby offers all the amenities you'd need—shops, services, and plenty of additional historical sites worth your time. It's a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in Civil War history or the architectural heritage of the region.
