ENGLAND TRIP: Day 7: Part 5: Thornbury Castle Garden and Royal Bedroom

Outside Castle wall and garden
(Tower of St. Mary's just beyond the wall).
This is a pictorial of the outside garden (from the 1500s), the royal bedroom that we stayed in at Thornbury Castle and the dining room that was once a bedroom for Queen Anne Boleyn (when she visited). The bedroom was so elaborate, and so historic that only photos and captions are needed.


The hotel's Royal Gardens - remarkably preserved
from the 1500s. Note the jagged unfinished masonry of the castle walls.



Fireplace in the Bedford Chamber.

Window that our ghost (Rupert)
violently opened at 5:30 a.m.!

Doorway to the bathroom from the main bedroom.
Note the pull cord that is the light switch.

Wall tapestry in the bedroom

Door to the Bedford Chamber (our room).
The amazing bed of the Bedford Chamber

The hotel dining room
(Queen Anne Boleyn's bedchamber).
