SUDELEY Castle will be featuring on the BBC's Countryfile this weekend.
Presenter Ellie Harrison came to Gloucestershire to learn about the responsibilities and challenges of owning an historic stately home.
It will be part of a special feature on country architecture being aired on BBC1 at 7pm on Sunday.
Ellie went on a tour of the castle apartments, which are still home to Lady Ashcombe and her family, and the extensive gardens.
After being given some tips from tour guide Nicola Tallis, Ellie even had a go herself.
"It was a wonderful opportunity for Sudeley to share our rich Tudor history," said Lady Ashcombe.
"Being guardian of such a wonderful property is both a great privilege and a great responsibility."
Ellie also learned about Sudeley Castle's work with breeding rare pheasants. The pheasantry was started by Lady Ashcombe's late husband Mark Dent-Brocklehurst who had a great passion for wildlife and animals.
"Sudeley Castle is in my backyard and it's a real gem of a place to visit," said Ellie.
"For someone who didn't study history after the age of 16 it's a place that really brings it to life, as well as having gorgeous grounds to hang out in."
