    Croft Castle and Parkland offers visitors a rich blend of history and natural beauty. The castle itself, with its medieval tower and Georgian interiors, provides an interesting look into the lives of the Croft family who lived there for nearly 1000 years. Visitors often appreciate the well-preserved rooms and the informative displays about the family's history.

    The parkland surrounding the castle is a major highlight, featuring ancient trees, scenic walking trails, and diverse wildlife. The walled garden and vineyard add to the charm, offering seasonal beauty and tranquility. Many visitors enjoy exploring the grounds, especially the avenue of Spanish chestnuts and the 1500-year-old oak tree.

    The on-site church of St. Michael and All Angels is noted for its architectural interest and historical significance. The castle also hosts various events throughout the year, which can enhance the visitor experience.

    While generally well-received, some visitors mention that parts of the castle can feel a bit worn or dated. Additionally, on busy days, the tearoom can get crowded, and some find the food options limited or pricey.

    Access for those with mobility issues can be challenging in some areas of the castle and grounds, which is worth noting for visitors with specific needs.

    Overall, Croft Castle and Parkland offers a pleasant day out, combining historical interest with natural beauty, though it may not be as extensive or grand as some other National Trust properties.
