The beautiful timber-framed hunting lodge of Boscobel House in Shropshire is home to a unique story in England's history. It was here that King Charles II famously took refuge from Oliver Cromwell's approaching troops in 1651, hiding in an oak tree that would become known at the Royal Oak. The tree's biological descendent still stands at the house today. In 2021, Boscobel House has benefited from a major investment project and now features a recreation of the Victorian farmyard, 17th-century garden, stories to explore by candlelight and a newly planted woodland and a play area.

Surrounded by open countryside, Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire is perhaps one of the finest and best preserved of all English medieval castles. The castle's fortifications were put to the test by mortar fire in 1646 during the English Civil War. Parliamentarians waged a two-month siege, bombarding the castle using a locally made cannon called Roaring Meg; the only surviving mortar from the period, it is now on display in the castle courtyard.
