Witley Court & Gardens – The Rise, Glory, and Fall of a Grand English Estate

Once one of the most magnificent country houses in England, Witley Court in Worcestershire was a masterpiece of Victorian opulence — complete with lavish state rooms, formal gardens, and the spectacular Perseus and Andromeda Fountain.

In this video, we explore the haunting ruins and beautifully restored gardens, uncovering the fascinating history of the estate — from its origins in the 17th century with the wealthy Foley family, to its transformation under the Earls of Dudley, and the devastating fire of 1937 that changed everything.

Join us on a 20-minute journey through grandeur, decline, and preservation, as we walk through the terraces, admire the Victorian fountain in full flow, and imagine the life and splendour of one of Britain’s great lost houses.
