SO worth the bother of booking. We had been wanting to go for months with some friends and finally managed to organise the trip. It turned out it was the last viewing day of the year. It's just stunning. And, as with many NT places, there are highly knowledgeable and wonderfully eccentric guides eager to share their passions about the property. It was raining when we visited but that did not stop us going on the garden tour nor did it dim the beauty of the colours and textures. Highly recommended. We were two parties of four that included two 14-year-olds, one 12-year-old and one 9-year-old and they all really enjoyed it.

What a great railway, the staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming. My friend and I have never visited before, we got a really good welcome form one member of staff who on noticing we worked for a Heritage Railway got a great tour of the loco sheds and a ride before it opened to the public which was great. After this we bought ticket for another ride and bought on for the trip we had. The track layout is great, it’s a good 10 minute ride which is well worth the ticket price, will highly recommend friends to visit this railway, a true hidden gem.

My son who turned 10 had such a great birthday party, very well organised by Laura and all the team at the track. Every single go-kart was perfect and the day went so well. We really can’t thank everyone enough ????????

This is one of those strange locations that is a required visit as I believe everyone on occasion needs to be reminded of the enormous sacrifice others made for our today. Beautifully appointed and architecturally astute, a walk around these gardens and graves will sadden and illuminate simultaneously. Saddest of all perhaps are the graves of so many, so young, who died after hostilities ended in both world wars and to see names of, (again), so many young people who traveled half a world to lose their lives and end up here. Honour them with your presence just once.

Visit the famous hedge maze, Tudor knot garden and the state apartments at this splendid red-brick Tudor Palace, which is set in formal gardens and open parkland along the Thames River.
Reviewed By Ritpetite96 - Bideford, United Kingdom
I've always wanted to visit Hampton Court Palace And It exceeded my expectations It's truly amazing It's Tudor and Baroque architecture are both equally wonderful, the gardens are beautiful you can easily spend a whole day wondering around and still not see it all. When we arrived which was at 9.15 they had just lit the fire in the kitchens (you could smell the smoke wafting over the East front gardens) you can go in and look around the front gardens at 9 am the roses smelt lovely at that time of the morning and we even saw some wild Parakeets flying around. When we we went we where lucky enough to go when you could meet Henry viii and interview a couple of his wives listening to the actors playing them was very interesting and really enjoyable, and it was a pleasure talking to the guides in the rooms of the palace their knowledge about the history of the place was enjoyable to listen to, it was the same talking to the people in the kitchens finding out what life was like working in a Tudor kitchen, Hampton court palace is well worth a visit and I would go back again.

Polesden Lacey is a National Trust gem with spectacular (& evolving) formal and natural gardens as well as a well presented insight into a early twentieth century country house. Entrance is £15 pp or free to NT members. Guided tours are available of the house in the morning before allowing free flow entry after 1230 whilst the gardens are open at all times with tours available at 1130, 1245, & 1415 Originally built by the Scottish brewer, William McEwan it became the country home of Maggie Greville, one of the premier socialites of the early twentieth century who counted royalty and prime ministers amongst her friends and guests. The gardens alone are worth the visit and are spectacularly laid out. We thoroughly enjoyed the garden tour and would recommend it. The house is also beautifully presented and easy to navigate. The volunteers in each room were as always helpful and interesting. The porcelain & art on display on the ground floor is well worth enjoying. It is easy to see how Polesden Lacey was one of the most popular “house parties” for those lucky enough to be invited. We ended our tour with lunch at the Cowshed Cafe in the courtyard which offers a range of options. Unfortunately however McEwans beer is not available on the menu!

The site where King John signed the Magna Carta, England's great icon of liberty and first expression of human rights, on June 15, 1215.
Reviewed By TalDarkLeanMean - Staines, United Kingdom
Runnymede in short is a combination of history and nature put in a blender with monuments, memorials flavour added on top, presented in an elegant English countryside setting. This lovely meadow/woodland is as historic as it can get. There is a huge WWI & II Airforce memorial, JFK Memorial, centuries old Yew tree, ancient monastery, modern open air artworks and in the centre of it all is the sealing of Magna Carta that set the tone for later governments to make speeches about. The whole area is managed by the trustworthy National Trust that also look after the mighty Stonehenge and of course the river Thames runs through it.
