With over 500 years of royal history,
Hampton Court Palace has something to offer visitors, from the
magnificent State Apartments to the domestic reality of the Tudor
Kitchens. Costumed guides and audio tours bring the palace to life and
provide an insight into how life in the palace would have been in the
time of Henry VIII and William III. The Palace also has a programme of
special events throughout the year.
Hampton Court Palace
contains an important part of the largest private collection of art in
the world, the Royal Collection, the property of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II. This collection, which covers 500 years, is complete and
Hampton Court contains much of the most important material from the
16th, 17th and early 18th centuries.
Hampton Court Palace has been divided into six routes or tours.
The Maze at Hampton Court, the royal
palace on the Thames to the west of London, is probably the most
famous hedge maze in the world. It was planted as part of the
gardens laid out for William of Orange between 1689 and 1695 by
George London and Henry Wise. It was described with great wit in
Jerome K. Jerome's novel 'Three Men in a Boat.' Hampton Court Maze
continues to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors
each year. |
