The unusual hexagonal ruins of Old Wardour Castle stand serenely in its lakeside setting protected by acres of wood. But this beguiling scene of rural tranquillity masks a bloodthirsty past - a terrible battle was fought here in 1643 when Parliamentarian forces besieged the castle for several weeks. By the time the occupants surrendered, the damage to the castle was extensive. Today, surrounded by landscaped grounds, Old Wardour is a picturesque location for picnics and a relaxing day out.
