Highclere Castle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Former Georgian house, home of the Earls of Caernarvon, remade by Charles Barry in exotic (or horrifying, depending upon your tastes) Victorian Gothic style. Ornate, opulent state rooms. Exhibit of Egyptian artefacts (the fifth Earl was an enthusiastic backer of Howard Carter, who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen).
Garden: Huge cedars grace the parklands designed by 'Capability Brown'. Walled gardens, Victorian yew walks, orangery and fernery.
Highclere Park, Newbury, Berkshire, England, RG20 9RN
