Thornbury Castle celebrates 500 years
Tuesday, 28th April 2009
Celebrating 500 years in 2009, Thornbury Castle is without doubt the finest Tudor Castle in the world and the only Tudor Castle in England to be open as a hotel. With its imposing entrance and vast grounds, historic interiors, its own vineyard and destination restaurant, Thornbury Castle has become a magnet for lovers of history, quality and comfort.
Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn once walked the rooms and grounds of Thornbury Castle. Today, the 500 year-old castle-palace with its beautiful oriel windows, Tudor hall and historic parkland invites guests to indulge in what is probably one of the most talked about castles in English history.
Perfectly situated to explore the surrounding Cotswolds, Thornbury Castle itself offers guests an opportunity to learn about the deep history and explore the Castle and grounds through detailed guide booklets and knowledgeable staff. Once you’ve walked the grounds, sit down to a glass of Thornbury Castle wine and prepare yourself for a traditional English meal in the Tower Dining Room. Finally the atmospheric four-poster bedchambers are an experience in themselves and allow for a luxurious nights sleep.
Says General Manager Brian Jarvis “Thornbury Castle is no ordinary hotel, it’s an experience which, once discovered, will lure you back time and time again as a haven for peace, quality and friendly efficient service all wrapped up in so much history, it also has an air of romance to it.”
Raise a glass of Thornbury Castle’s wine and celebrate 500 years of unique history.
