Sudeley Castle

Home to Elizabeth, Lady Ashcombe and the Dent-Brocklehurst family, Sudeley Castle is a Tudor jewel with 1,000 years of history, formal gardens, events, tours and exhibitions. Sudeley is the only private castle in England to have a queen buried within its grounds – Katherine Parr, the last of Henry VIII’s six wives. Visitors can explore the intimate 15th-century church where she lies entombed. The castle rooms and exhibits contain many fascinating treasures, from ancient Roman times to Tudors, Victorian era and the present day. Outside, the castle is surrounded by ten award-winning gardens. The centrepiece is the Queens Garden, so named because four of England’s queens, Anne Boleyn, Katherine Parr, Lady Jane Grey and Elizabeth I, once walked upon the original Tudor Parterre. The whole family can explore the castle’s fascinating past and enjoy a host of exciting events throughout the year. Children will love adventure play fort & 10 piece assault course!
