Built in the 1500s, Thornbury Castle has housed kings, queens and dukes over the centuries. Walk the halls lined with suits of armour and tapestry-hung walls and immerse yourself in English history. In our gardens, you can try archery, falconry and croquet, or simply enjoy afternoon tea and take in the incredible grounds and gardens. Thornbury Castle, once owned by Henry VIII, has stood firm through many of history’s most pivotal and dramatic events. Today, its surroundings are a little more peaceful: nestled in the leafy landscape of South Gloucestershire, it offers a luxurious step back in time from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
As you approach Thornbury Castle, you’ll feel like a guest in a royal retinue. Stroll the walled gardens, gazing up at the turrets and towers. Savour a vintage whisky while firelight plays on the wood panels. Dine on exquisite dishes made with fresh, local produce, before climbing the stone spiral stairs to your bedchamber.
