Blackgreves Farm
Around the privately occupied house with a porch bearing an 1827 date, is a partially water-filled (at least in summer) moat served by run-off from the fields. This could be enhanced dramatically if various parties could be persuaded to allow the cleaning / digging out of the moat to free it from mud and reeds.Harvington Hall
Perhaps more famous for its priest holes than its moat, the house is regularly open to the public during summer months.

Huddington Court
A private and very quiet countryside retreat. It has a white painted metal bridge over the moat that looks somewhat out of place, and much more obtrusive than the brick ones.Madresfield Court
One of the possible settings for Waugh’s Brideshead, privately owned Madresfield Court has “a perfect moat” according to Pevsners Worcestershire and I wouldn’t disagree. Additionally it has stunning views of Elgars Hills.

Birtsmorton Court
A picturesque medieval manor house in a wide moat which is fed by Westminster pool; the house was sold to the present owners after it had been left to the nation in 1963.Moat Farm
A timber framed house with part dating from 1663. It has a wide, old and 9 feet deep moat on two sides that is fed by run-off while the other two sides of the moat are modern, shallow and narrow.

Astwood Court
With Moat Cottage and Moat Court on either side, it may be a surprise to find it is Astwood Court that is surrounded by a wide moat.Moat Court
Parts of the farmhouse are Saxon, parts 14th century & parts Tudor. Around is the substantial moat with extensive waterways, including leat, ponds and a sometime branch that would have given a second island with an orchard on it.
