Thornbury Castle is a medieval fantasy come true, with 500
years of history woven into its character, a sumptuous castle that is
truly fit for a King.
Indeed among the illustrious
figures that have visited the turrets of this Tudor Palace, were King
Henry VIII and his controversial second wife Anne Boleyn and guests of
Thornbury Castle today can expect to be treated just as royally as
those in the past.
Thornbury Castle resonates with centuries
of history, surrounded by crenellated walls and set within historic
parkland, the castle dates back to 1510. The exterior of Thornbury
Castle incorporates a bold tower with narrow arrow slits and the
fortified manor house with intricate oriel windows. Step through the
castle’s solid oak doors and the sense of history is in evidence with
original tapestries, suits of armour and fabulous oak panelled
galleries and public areas.
All of the sumptuous classic bedchambers are fabulously atmospheric each with their own unique features. Most come
with luscious four-poster or classic coronet beds and period
furnishings that extenuate the original features of stone walls, ornate
ceilings and roaring fireplaces. For that extra special occasion there is a choice to upgrade to the deluxe bedchambers which offer an even greater feel of grandeur and opulence. Both the classic and deluxe bedchambers tastefully
intermingle authentic medieval charm with all modern comforts, luxuries and welcoming
touches.
Thornbury Castle is also renowned for its cuisine,
which includes fabulous traditional favourites such as treacle tart,
butterscotch pudding and roasts fit for a medieval feast. There are
three dining areas, all maintaining the castle’s historic air with
original fireplaces, oak panelling and ancestral portraits.
Within the castle grounds are the oldest Tudor gardens in England , a
handsomely romantic setting where in years gone by, Kings have walked
with Queens and Knights have courted ladies-in-waiting.
Thornbury Castle is situated near Bristol, close to the border with
Wales and is perfectly placed for exploring the Wye Valley and border
towns such as Hay-on-Wye, as well as the historic town of Bath and the
graceful countryside of the Cotswolds .
