Attingham Park at Atcham, near Shrewsbury, was the West Midlands' top free tourist attraction last year.
The VisitEngland’s 2023 attractions survey found that while visits to attractions across England continued to recover last year, they were still significantly down on pre-pandemic levels.
For the West Midlands The Black Country Living Museum at Dudley was in second place with 339,021 – up two per cent and Dudley Zoo and Castle third with 302,386 – up one per cent. The Shugborough Estate, near Stafford, was fifth with 270,610 – up six per cent. VisitEngland director Andrew Stokes said: “It’s good to see continued growth in visits to our wonderful attractions and this survey underlines what we know from the industry, that there remains ground to be covered to get our sector back to pre-pandemic levels and that the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite.
