Like the magnificent Baddesley Clinton, Packwood House is a little further away from us: great for food, walks, gardens and architecture; and famous for its topiary.
Arthur Mee, in The King's England (1949), says: "Packwood. It has a rare little road with a great surprise. We pass through a charming old gateway, and in one splendid moment the glory of Packwood House is upon us. It is a famous spot, one of the most wonderful in Warwickshire, and no traveller can forget its great company of ancient yews."
