Old Wardour Castle

Set in the peaceful Wiltshire countryside beside a lake, Old Wardour Castle, near Tisbury was once one of the most daring and innovative homes in Britain. It was built in the 14th century as a lightly fortified luxury residence for comfortable living and lavish entertainment. Today the castle ruin provides a relaxed, romantic day out for couples, families and budding historians alike. Dogs on leads are welcome to explore the castle with their owners. A water bowl can be found near the entrance point and visitors are asked to take any dog mess away with them as there are no dog bins on-site.
