Features and Amenities

The hall contains an outstanding art collection, described by the National Trust as "one of Britain's most important public collections of modern art", including sculptures by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth plus an extensive collection of mid-20th century Spanish paintings and pottery, collected by former resident Sir George Labouchere during his diplomatic service.

Fishing permits to some of the estate's pools are available from Kinver Freeliners angling club.

Other than that, there is lots of activities going on around the estate - pig farming, asparagus growing, Hampton Loade. Dudmaston also features in its very own traditional way of "tushing" using a horse to pull logs in the woods where a tractor can not reach. This is done with a Fell Pony, which were originally used as pack ponies for carrying lead from the mines.

    These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
