Day Three: Our last day and the day we were to come home. Being the 'travelling day' we decided on a quieter, less thrill seeker day and decided to visit Hampton Court Palace - a place that I have always wanted to visit. The night before we looked on line to book tickets and purchased the years Palace pass for a family as it was only £40 more than a day pass, and we knew we would use the pass later in the year when we visit London in August.
We we arrive we collected our annual passes and then headed straight for the maze which Titch was desperate to do.
On the way to the maze you walk through the rose gardens and these are stunning. It did help that it was such a glorious day, but I could have spent ages walked around just taking pictures of the roses.
The maze was great fun, and we all enjoyed getting lost and then eventually succeeding in finding the centre. We then had to find our way out, to which Titch asked if we could use Sat Nav - not sure it would work!
We then headed inside to explore the Palace and the rooms. There was so much to see and do. Titch even got to turn the roast beef that was cooking on the open fire. The smell was amazing. There were staff all around dressed up, in character, who you could talk to and ask questions.
The grounds at the back of the palace were amazing. We had brought ourselves a picnic and sat under the trees just admiring the view whilst we ate.
We only managed to spend around 3 hours here, but could have easily spend double that, so hopefully we will get to go again.
We have so many beautiful places in this country and luckily when the weather is good as it has been these places just come to life.
