Hampton Court Palace






There is no escaping the Palace's impact on us river travellers and we are able to moor right outside.


So we set off to take a look.


The main entrance, alas Fen is restricted to the gardens.


Base Court and Henry VIII's Kitchens





The formal gardens and orangery


The East Front


The fountain.


Always like a horse and cart.


Deck chairs and history lessons


The Royal Haighs


  
Inside the palace buildings the journey of discovery takes in Henry VIII's apartments , his Wine Cellar, the Chapel Royal, the Georgian Story and the Cumberland Art Gallery.

It is well worth a visit.
