A French chateau-style mansion in the Vale of Evesham built for the Duc d'Orléans, Wood Norton Hall stands in extensive grounds with formal gardens, woodland, and a sense of aristocratic continental grandeur rare in the English Midlands.

It is absolutely a venue we would love to bring our cameras to.
