Clevedon's Victorian seafront and the clifftop walks beyond lie within easy reach, while Clevedon Golf Club adjoins the grounds. The castle itself—a four-storey octagonal keep surrounded by turrets—dates to the 1600s and commands views over the town from its private, secluded estate. All 7 bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, spread across the keep and individual turrets; one turret contains a self-contained apartment with its own living and dining space. Bed configurations range from kingsize doubles to combinations with pull-out singles and doubles, sleeping 21 in total.
The keep houses two kitchens (one with an Aga and gas hob, one with an electric cooker), a dining room, and sitting rooms. A private 13-metre indoor swimming pool sits within the grounds, alongside a games room, barbecue area, and parking for 10 cars. Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; pets stay free. The property is yours alone to book, whether for weddings, family gatherings or group celebrations. No smoking throughout.

Walton Castle in Clevedon is a truly breathtaking wedding venue, and as a Bristol wedding photographer, it’s an absolute delight to capture love stories in such a unique and picturesque setting. Perched on a hilltop with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, this stunning castle offers a perfect blend of historical grandeur and modern elegance. The moment you step onto the grounds, you are transported into a fairytale-like atmosphere, with its medieval architecture, turrets, and lush gardens providing an enchanting backdrop for wedding photography. One of the standout features of Walton Castle is the stunning outdoor spaces. The well-maintained gardens and surrounding grounds offer a variety of backdrops for beautiful wedding portraits. Whether it's capturing the couple against the backdrop of the castle's majestic exterior or strolling through the scenic gardens, there are endless opportunities for creating timeless and memorable images. The elevated position of the venue also means you can take advantage of sweeping views of the Somerset countryside, which make for breathtaking wide-angle shots. As a wedding photographer, I love the sense of privacy and exclusivity that Walton Castle offers, making it an ideal location for couples seeking a truly personal and unforgettable celebration. The venue's combination of stunning architecture, beautiful grounds, and impeccable service ensures that every detail is taken care of, allowing me to focus on capturing the perfect moments throughout the day.

Dream wedding venue setting! Being a wedding musician myself, I have performed at many wonderful and extravagant venues. When my husband and I were looking for a venue, I personally struggled with picking somewhere. I found Walton Castle just by chance on google maps and we went for a tour. We were both blown away by the view from the balcony as we were able to see the sea and thought this would make wonderful memories. It also meant a lot to my husband as he is in the Royal Navy. We both knew instantly that this was our venue. It ticked a lot of our boxes with it being close enough to Bristol for our local guests to travel to and from, as well as enough rooms and beds for our immediate family and friends to stay. It is a blank canvas venue where you can design your wedding to what you want. Not only do you have the space inside the ground but also the outside surroundings of the castle where you and your guests can go mingle near the fire pit late in the evening. A lot of couples get married between the middle turret and the main gates, but for me that was quite a short walk especially as a harpist I have a great appreciation for the aisle walk music. Once I saw their grandiose 2 trees entwining, I knew that instantly it was where I wanted to make my vows and as it turns out we were the first to do that at the venue. The team was great with keeping in contact with us when we arrived the day before the wedding. Like any wedding, we had a few hiccups like our master bedroom bath tap not turning off on the wedding morning at 6am (it’s an old building, these things happen). But with the Walton Castle team not being too far from the main venue, they were there in no time to help solve any problems. Our guests who stayed at the castle really appreciated the large bedrooms that were provided and the kids definitely made use of the underground pool the day before the wedding. All our guests loved our small tours to the balcony for photos and my husband and I had some wonderful pictures taken at the baby grand piano within one of the turrets. For anyone thinking of booking, I would recommend finding well established suppliers who know the venue or who are willing to go view it beforehand. Especially as they will need to have good communication with the venue and with what it provides (ie electrical/generators). As a client, you are in charge of booking everything, it could be very helpful booking an external wedding planner for this venue. Make sure to pick companies that know the industry well and will go that extra mile to get all the smaller jobs done for you. As I said at the start, you are booking a blank canvas to make your dream wedding, and Walton Castle is that perfect setting to add to. Thank you again to the team at Walton Castle, you can really tell there has been a lot of heart and care with maintaining it for your clients. Photographer: Lulu and Scott
