Visiting Royal Places in the London area can suck up an entire vacation and wear you out. If you only visit one, this might be the best choice. The ride from our hotel in London was very easy and much faster, only an hour, than the two hours that we had been told it would take. The train station is... More

We were fortunate enough to attend a dinner there. The grounds are beautiful and there is so much history. We did not have time to really explore and would love to go back and see more.

We visted hampton court at the start of May 2012. We were lucky enough for it to be on a school day, and when we arrived the car park wasn't very busy at all. The staff were all very friendly on entry, and exchanged our online tickets quickly with no problems. You are given a map of the castle, a... More

Nice gardens and ome open picnic areas leading down to the river. Cafe was very good with some very nice home made food and cakes. You can get a beer with your lunch if you wish and sit inside or out. Nothing spectacular but a nice lunch itch a few hours in the garden or property

What a great palace, it has it all fine building, chapel and kitchen. The grounds are massive with a few hidden small gardens. Don't get lost in the maze, put your camera over your head to see who is across the hedge. Nice to go outside the grounds to the river with its locks and traffic, picnic by the side... More

I enjoyed the audio tour,malthough I would have preferred headphones to having to walk around with a cell phone style device at my ear. The medieval kitchens were even more interesting than I anticipated and quite extensive. I particularly enjoyed the tudor portion of the castle. I was not as well read in the history of William and Mary so... More

Beautiful setting, attractive venue, tasty food, quite trendy menu - but too expensive for a Hereford salary! However, a great place to see and be seen, meet and greet, when the antiques fairs are on and the charity events take place. Overall, it's a good experience, and the gadens are absolutely gorgeous. Start saving now!

We visited Hampton Court Palace in April 2012 and were again amazed by the beauty of ancient English castles. We were most impressed by the display of art in Mary II's Private Apartments of portraits of many of Charles II's mistresses. The vaulted ceiling in the Chapel Royal was one of the most impressive examples of Tudor architecture and craftmanship... More

My comments are about the gardens at Hampton Court Castle Herefordshire as we didn't go into the building. Our 7 year old grandchildren loved the place. They had to navigate the maze to reach the tower in the centre. Upstairs for great views, then down into the darkness of the 'secret' tunnel. This led to the sunken garden where the... More

This Hampton Court Castle predates its more famous namesake by some years and it is important not to confuse the two; this one is in the county of Herefordshire, near Leominster. The main part of the building dates back to the 15th century but there are major Victorian addtions, so well executed, that it is hard to see the join.... More
