To begin, your guide will introduce you to the history of Cardinal Wolsey’s creation which he gifted to Henry in 1528. We will stroll through the courtyards that were witness to great events. Passing under Ann Boleyn’s Gatehouse, where she lived before she was executed, we will see the magnificent baroque palace, Fountain Court, created by Sir Christopher Wren for William III and Mary II.

Our tour continues to the restored sunken gardens and then onto the vast Tudor kitchens of Henry’s creation. Finally, we will make our way to the Tiltyard (originally for jousting) for a mouthwatering
