HISTORIC SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE
A magnificent 500-year-old Tudor castle-palace set in historic gardens and parkland, Thornbury Castle promises memories - memories of its royal past and also memories of the future.

The building of Thornbury Castle in 1511 by Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, ended in 1521 when the Duke was executed on fabricated charges of treason. In 1535 King Henry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn, stayed here. Henry’s daughter, Princess Mary, later Queen Mary 1st also lived here for several years.

Today, this Tudor castle stands serenely in 15 acres, with the oldest Tudor gardens in England, and over the high castle walls, views of the hills in South Gloucestershire and Wales. There is fascinating historical detail to enjoy in every aspect of the castle - coats of arms, grand suits of armour, intricate oriel windows, and ornate carved ceilings which all enhance the wealth of the past, combined with the luxury and comfort of one of England’s finest hotels.

Thornbury Castle has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment, which has included the beautiful restoration of its dining rooms, lounges, library, as well as its luxurious 27 bed chambers and suites.

The Castle provides a wonderful retreat from the everyday routine as well as the most memorable of settings.
