Quick facts
It was built in the 17th century as a hunting lodge for gentry and royalty.
A fire in 1929 left it a shell, and the Weld family who own the estate restored much of it with English Heritage.
The castle stands in a park of about 1,000 acres with woodland walks, a 15th-century church and a tea room.
