Whightwick Manor House
I visited Wightwick Manor back in August 2013 intrigued by the sound of the house, in that this was a relatively new house when the National Trust got involved, which was unusual but also that it boasts a massive collection of William Morris and Arts and Crafts designs. They weren't kidding, the house is stuffed to bursting. On every surface, every wall, just every where was arts and crafts.

Tudor, Tudor Everywhere.
Unfortunately photography inside the house is not permitted, though the outside is certainly photogenic.

I loved the style of planting, which was beautifully messy and colourful.

There was a lot of wildlife to see around the pools and ponds.
The grounds are not massive but what they lack in size they make up for in a relaxed and slightly ramshackle charm and although this wasn't a visit prompted by a particular interest at the time, and since I am making a list of National Trust sites to visit, I figured Whightwick should have its own post.
