Sandringham
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of
Her Majesty The Queen, and has been the private home of four generations
of British monarchs since 1862. The house, set in 24 hectares of
stunning gardens, is perhaps the most famous stately home in Norfolk and
is at the heart of the 8,000-hectare Sandringham Estate, 240
hectares of which make up the woodland and heath of the Country Park,
open to the public free of charge every day of the year. Sandringham's gardens were opened to the
public by King Edward VII in 1908, and the Museum by King George V in
1930; Sandringham House was opened to the public at Her Majesty The
Queen's wish in her Silver Jubilee year of 1977.
There is a very great deal to see and do at Sandringham;
we recommend that visitors allow at least 4 hours in order to get the
most out of their time here, and to make the most of the unhurried
welcome we offer.
