Baddesley Clinton
Baddesley Clinton in Warwickshire is one of England's finest and most evocative moated manor houses, largely unchanged since the late medieval period and still surrounded by the tranquil waters of its moat. The house has a genuinely romantic atmosphere, shaped by centuries of Catholic recusant history — including priest holes constructed to hide clergy during times of persecution. It is the kind of place that makes history feel tangible and close.
