A late April 2019 visit to Croome in Worcestershire, the estate is now run by the National Trust. Croome Park is quite big, and you can walk around the grounds and see the various landmarks there. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croome_Court" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Croome Court</a> <b>Croome Court</b> is a mid-18th-century Neo-Palladian mansion surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland at Croome D'Abitot, near Pershore in south Worcestershire, England. The mansion and park were designed by Lancelot &quot;Capability&quot; Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry, and were Brown's first landscape design and first major architectural project. Some of the mansion's rooms were designed by Robert Adam. The mansion house is owned by Croome Heritage Trust, and is leased to the National Trust which operates it as a tourist attraction. The National Trust owns the surrounding parkland, which is also open to the public. <a href="https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101349526-croome-court-croome-d39abitot#.XMXrgqR7mUk" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Croome Court</a> is a Grade I listed building.
