Close to Wolverhampton and Telford, you’ll find one of the most exquisite country houses in the Midlands: Weston Park. The heritage-listed building dates back as far as 1670, although the 18th-century gardens are the main draw – the work of inimitable landscape architect Capability Brown. Read on for a list of noble and worthy places to stay on any visit to Weston Park – bookable now with Culture Trip.
