Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe

Beautiful gardens around a important piece of British history. The castle has been turned into a museum full of displays and artifacts relevant to its tenants and uses throughout the years. The gardens are the best part and there are walking trails leading to/from here.

We get a season pass every year and love to hang out here. The castle has so much history and lots to see inside. The gardens are packed full of interesting things growing... especially the physic and herb gardens. The owners are continually investing in improvements to this place... the play area has seen the addition of a wooden bridge as an entrance, there are more wooden climbing bits, there is a new cafe room at the beginning and right now they are really revamping the car parking facilities! We come here in the rain and the sun, and each visit is different, although we never fail to go say hello to the birds in the Pheasantry and indulge in a bowl of chips.

Loved stepping foot in the home of Katherine Parr!!! So much history and artifacts. One of the guides showed us the arch way that Parr, Queen Elizabeth, and Lady Jane Grey would have used to walk from the home to the private chapel. There is also a lovely tomb for Parr in the private chapel. The gardens are simply gorgeous and it's a nice walk through out the castle grounds.

A little expensive but it's a nice place to spend a few hours. Lots of interesting exhibits inside and the gardens are pretty. Some of the general flow through the exhibits seems a little random at times when compared to, for example, a large National Trust property but there is a more intimate, less hurried feel a result. Worth seeing.

Visited here with our daughter who is five for a picnic and to play on the small play park which used to be free. Only to find that it was going to cost £32 for two adults and a child for the pleasure which was full entry price for the entire grounds. As we were literally only going to be there for a snack and a quick play, we did not feel like paying so had our picnic else where. There really should be a separate, lower price to use the play park area, and not rip people off when the only want to spend a short time using this area. Very disappointed.
