WILDLIFE

The Grounds provide a home to a variety of wildlife

The Castle grounds are a haven for many kinds of wildlife. The bird life on and around the Castle moat is quite exceptional and includes coots, moorhens and kingfishers along with herons and occasionally, grebes...

Hartlebury Castle has many surprises in store for the visitor. The Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust has ambitious plans to acquire and manage the Castle for public benefit and to bring it to life for present and future generations.

There is much to do but we feel confident that this fine building, with its staterooms, chapel, the Hurd Library and beautiful grounds, can be opened to visitors and improved to provide an exceptional setting for weddings and other celebrations. We aim to ensure that it becomes a cultural centre of excellence, providing something for art and music lovers, and anyone interested in the 1100 years of British heritage that this place provides.
