    Compton Verney is a nationally-accredited art gallery and historic, ?Capability? Brown-designed park located in the heart of the South Midlands, not far from Stratford-upon-Avon. We present a wealth of opportunities for discovery and enjoyment in our galleries and landscape, and we passionately believe in sharing everything our rich, multi-faceted site has to offer.
