Join me as I explore Hampton Court Castle Stately home in Herefordshire, England. I have a look inside the house and at the gardens and grounds. Thanks for watching :)
This is about 20 minutes away from where I live and is probably my most favourite place to visit in Herefordshire. Usually I visit two or three times a year but so far this year I haven't been at all. I have taken hundreds of photos here, especially of the gardens as the colours and variety of flower, shrubs, insects etc is amazing especially in the spring and summer months! There's a nice little riverside walk opposite the castle beside the river Lugg and if you are lucky you might see some otters. They have only opened the upstairs of the castle to visitors in the last 12 - 18 months as the last time I was there you could only see round the ground floor, so that's another reason for me to go back again soon. Also, did you know that Hampton Court Palace was apparently modelled on Hampton Court Castle which is the older of the two? I'd recommend this castle to anyone who is thinking about visiting - and keep an eye out as they have events on at various times in the year like animal displays, bird displays, plays etc etc and of course there is the new park there for the children. Anyway, I really love this kind of video, so thank you for sharing it and I look forward to watching some more of your videos.
Thanks for your comments. The tour guide did actually mention the bit you mentioned about Hampton Court palace being modelled on this place. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching, Adam :)
Thank you Debbi for your lovely comment. I'm really glad that you're enjoying the videos. It's lovely to know that people find them interesting. All the best, Adam :)
I have watched many of Adams tours,but this one of Hampton court Castle was most enjoyable, maybe because of it's simplicity and honesty,I can envision living there back in the day,some of the other estates are way too grand for my taste.but I still enjoy watching them.
What an interesting place, I had never heard of it. Lovely how you can see the whole grounds etc from the tower in the maze, and it is neat that you can only get into the tower from one spot in the maze! And a secret tunnel! What fun! It is great that you are adventurous because some people wouldn't try to venture that far and would miss out (I am probably one of those people).
Thanks again. Yeah, I really enjoyed that maze, tower and the little hidden area near to it with the pool and waterfall! I was pretty impressed with it, and was glad I explored around there. It was definitely a worthwhile trip. All the best, Adam :)
@@matthewkane502 Oh yes, very interesting. I remember reading about them when I was doing my little bit of research before making the video. It's nice to be able to trace your history like that and for them to be associated with a lovely house like this :)
I regularly visit Hampton Court Castle with a group of people every year. We go Purley because the castle was used in a 1970s Terry Nation apocalyptic TV show called Survivors. Great video. I can't wait to visit again next month.
@@AdamExploresBritain Cheers bud. I went over the Easter weekend and loved it. I'm in Carmarthen next month for a week so it would be rude not to take a journey there for the day. I'd be gutted if I missed the opportunity. I'll be subscribing to your TH-cam now.
Well that was quite a castle-like home. Nice grounds with good water features and gardens. I think my favorite element was the maze leading to the tower. Once at the top of the tower, you can enjoy watching people make their way in the maze. Not sure I would have ventured into the tunnel, but what a great payoff being able to walk behind the cascading water. Thanks again for allowing those of us far away to have a tour!
Yes, I was really impressed and surprised with the Tower, tunnel and cascade. Thanks again for watching and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. All the best, Adam :)
NO need to Google it, I visited both of them. FYI: Hampton Court isn't a castle, its a palace and this footage is Windsor Castle... I invite you to check carefully. This site and your clips are a fraud. @@AdamExploresBritain
My ancestors lived and owned this fabulous castle!
So did mine! Who were yours?

You always pick something interesting and out of the way
I do try to mix it up a bit by including some lesser known places. Thanks for watching, much appreciated. Adam :)

My ancestors owned and lived in this beautiful castle!😊
Nice place! How long ago was that?
The Coningsbys so from about 1500-1800. They owned it for 300 years. That was 214 years ago

This isn't Hampton Court... it's Windsor Castle. They are quite different and it doesn't seem possible to confuse the two. ??
It's Hampton Court Castle in Herefordshire. Feel free to Google it :)
