Tudor Kitchens – Henry VIII was a big guy, with
a gargantuan appetite, and the royal court to feed. The kitchens re-create
the setting for a huge 16th century feast. Wander through rooms where food
was stored, prepared, and "dressed," before it was carried to
the Great Hall. |

The maze, set up in the 17th century, is a lot of fun. Plenty
of room to run around in the acres of gardens too. Bring a picnic, or
stop into the Tiltyard Tea-rooms for lunch and snacks. |
