Thornbury Castle, Thornbury, Gloucestershire.
A Brief Introduction to Thornbury Castle
“This one-of-a-kind destination, forged of imposing stone walls and steeped in palatial luxury, is an enduring testament to a time in which the Tudors reigned supreme.”
A brief, beloved retreat for Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Thornbury Castle was built in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, the ill-fated 3rd Duke of Buckingham, who was later beheaded for treason. Today, it stands just as tall as it did in those days of courtly intrigue, renewed with care by its current custodians and imbued with the regal grandeur of its past. Built to impress the most powerful man in the country, five centuries later, it still impresses. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in true Tudor history fully, you can stay in the very room in which King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn stayed during their 1535 Progress.
