Set within one of England’s grandest landscapes, ‘Capability’ Brown’s masterful house & gardens offer owe-inspiring views across to the Malvern Hill’s where it was also home was fascinating stories to a secret airbase during WW2. Croome’s house & gardens are now in the loving hands of the National Trust and is a popular local tourist attraction open for all to explore it’s parkland, RAF base, house and walled garden.
Within the visitor car park towards the entrance you’ll find a popular NT run cafe serving up a fresh selection of sandwiches & toasties, alongside baked potatoes, potato wedges, macaroni cheese, soups (spiced carrot & orange or mixed bean chilli, both vegan friendly), sausage rolls and Cornish pasties.
For those with a sweet tooth there’s your usual NT selection staple of cakes where on our latest autumnal visit these included; lemon drizzle, orange & poppyseed, coffee & walnut and Victoria sponge. Tray-bakes and smaller bites ranged from a blueberry & lemon blondie (vegan) to millionaire shortbread, flapjack, shortbread, sweet scones and a cherry & almond frangipane. During the summer months you’ll find a superb ice-cream hut serving locally sourced ice cream and coffee. Did we mention the famous NT cream tea too?
Perfect for any sized cycling group you’ll find a huge number of tables in their undercover outdoor seating area, alongside plenty of seats inside the former WW2 building too. There’s also dedicated bike racking directly outside in-front of the entrance.
