Sudeley Castle Home to Elizabeth, Lady Ashcombe and the Dent-Brocklehurst family, Sudeley Castle and Gardens is a Tudor jewel with 1,000 years of history, formal gardens, events, tours and exhibitions.

Sudeley is the only private castle in England to have a queen buried within its grounds – Katherine Parr, the last of Henry VIII’s six wives. Today visitors can explore the intimate 15th-century church where she lies entombed and visit the enchanted grounds where she once walked. The castle rooms and exhibits contain many fascinating treasures, from ancient Roman times to Tudors, Victorian era and the present day.

Outside, the castle is surrounded by a quintessentially English, 1,200-acre estate and ten spectacular gardens. The centrepiece is the Queens Garden, so named because four of England’s queens, Anne Boleyn, Katherine Parr, Lady Jane Grey, and Elizabeth I, once walked upon the original Tudor Parterre.
