Hampton Court Palace – A Royal Day Out

Step into more than 500 years of royal history with a fascinating day trip to magnificent Hampton Court Palace, one of Britain’s most spectacular historic attractions and famously associated with King Henry VIII.

Set beside the River Thames in Surrey, Hampton Court offers an extraordinary combination of Tudor splendour, magnificent State Apartments, beautiful gardens and centuries of stories involving some of England’s most famous kings and queens. From imposing courtyards and grand halls to peaceful gardens and intriguing corridors, there is plenty to discover throughout your visit.

One of the highlights is the breathtaking Great Hall, built for Henry VIII and regarded as one of the finest surviving medieval halls in England. Look upwards to admire its magnificent hammer-beam roof and imagine the elaborate feasts and entertainment that once took place here.

Explore the Tudor palace and discover more about Henry VIII, his court and his six wives before continuing through the magnificent State Apartments, where later monarchs transformed parts of Hampton Court into an elegant Baroque palace. The contrast between the Tudor and Baroque sections makes Hampton Court particularly fascinating to explore.

Outside, take time to wander through the palace's extensive gardens. Depending on the season, you'll find beautifully maintained formal landscapes, impressive fountains, colourful planting and sweeping views of the palace. You can also put your sense of direction to the test in the world-famous Hampton Court Maze, one of the palace's best-loved attractions.

Another remarkable sight is the Great Vine, planted in 1768 and recognised as the world's largest grapevine, while the historic Tudor kitchens provide an insight into the enormous operation required to feed Henry VIII's royal household.

There are cafés and refreshment facilities within the palace grounds, together with a gift shop where you can browse souvenirs and gifts inspired by Hampton Court's remarkable royal history.

With so much to see, Hampton Court Palace makes a wonderful day out for history enthusiasts, garden lovers and anyone who enjoys exploring Britain's great historic houses.

Sit back, relax and let Richard Taylor Travel take care of the driving as we enjoy a memorable day discovering one of Britain's greatest
royal palaces.
