A tea room with a difference has opened at the top of Croome Court.

Called Sky Cafe, the 60 seat tea and cake shop stands 12 metres from the ground and is proving a hit with visitors.

Jayne Bosley, catering manager at Croome Court, near Pershore, said: "We’ve had the scaffolding around the house open for five months which has been really popular as the views are so spectacular, but we thought we’d go one step further and open a café at the top too."

The Sky Café is reached via a staircase to the very top of the house, level with the second floor.

The panoramic views at the top take in the Malvern Hills and the surrounding Worcestershire landscape including birds eye views of the temples and follies around Croome.

It is open every day except Tuesdays.
