Explore, Eat, Shop and Stay โ the destination which has it all
At the heart of the 1,900 acre Doddington estate is the Elizabethan Hall with an impressive 400 years of unbroken family history. Completed by Robert Smythson in 1600, Doddington Hall and Gardens gives visitors a glimpse of life through the ages and also the development of the estate in the 21st century. The Hall is surrounded by six acres of beautiful walled and wild gardens and also home to an award-winning farm shop, cafรฉs, tea room, restaurant and country clothing store. Across the estate there are padel courts, cycling trails, estate walks and holiday cottages making Doddington a place where history, nature and leisure come together.
Whether you choose to discover more about the fascinating history of Doddington Hall or take a stroll through the Wilder Doddington landscape, an ambitious project aiming to bring nature back to the estate, there is something to captivate the whole family. Each year the events programme includes safaris to sculpture and tree walks to theatre and not forgetting a magical Christmas at Doddington.
You are sure to have worked up an appetite during your visit so make your choice from the delicious dining options.
