We were given a marvellous opportunity to take a small group to Hagley Hall and Park and be shown around by Lord Cobham who inherited in 2006. Since then he and his wife have carried out major restoration particularly of the magnificent surrounding park. 

Sir John Lyttelton bought the Hagley Estate in 1564. In the mid-18th century George, 1st Lord Lyttelton, began to landscape the grounds and build the ‘last great Palladian house’ designed by architect Sanderson Miller. It was built to enhance the 350 acres of undulating parkland that he and his father landscaped and which is peppered with follies and features.
