Highclere
Highclere Castle has been transformed from its roots in Anglo Saxon Times to a medieval palace, a Tudor place house, a Georgian house and today this iconic Victorian Castle. It sits within a park designed by Capability Brown in the eighteenth century.
Dogs
Dogs are not permitted in the CastleExhibition or Gardens with the exception of guide dogs. They are welcome on a lead on the public footpaths.
Accessibility
Although a historic castle, it is accessible, wheelchairs are welcome in the exhibition. There is no lift in the castle and motorised wheelchairs are welcome in the grounds.
Travel back in time and descend down the old servants’ stairs into the Castle cellars to explore the Egyptian Exhibition. In 1922, Lord Carnarvon, other leading Egyptologists of the day, Egyptian officials and much of the world’s press, gathered outside the unremarkable entrance to the tomb of a minor pharaoh to experience the discovery of the richest Egyptian burial ever found
There is a tearoom open throughout the day.
