About
As you'd expect, this magical Tudor castle is immersed in history. King Henry VIII commissioned the building in 1510 and, a few years after, revisited it with his second wife Anne Boleyn. Later on, in the 1550s, Queen Mary also resided at Thornbury for several years during her brief reign.
To this day, Thornbury Castle still retains many features of the original 16th-century edifice. Magnificent coats-of-arms, tapestries and beautiful paintings adorn the walls, and the majority of the beautiful chambers and bedrooms contain roaring log fires.
