Moseley Old Hall Visit
Overview
This will be one of a series of Spice visits to National Trust properties without a guide.
Today we will visit Moseley Old Hall.
Find out about the dramatic story of King Charles II hiding from Cromwell’s troops at Moseley Old Hall after he fled the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
See the bed on which the King slept and the priest hole in which he hid and hear fascinating stories about what life was like in the 17th-century.
A variety of 17th-century plants, a fruit orchard and a striking ‘knot’ garden adorn the graceful gardens. Further into Kings Walk Wood there is den building and the tree-hide for children of all ages to explore.
After our look around the house and garden we can treat ourselves in the very popular tea-room, with homemade cakes and biscuits or a light lunch.
Entry is free if you are a National Trust member. Please make sure that you book the correct ticket type and if you have a National Trust card you will need to bring it with you on the day.
