I grew up in Highclere so I have always known about The Castle and its history. On several occasions I have visited the castle. It really is a beautiful building with a fascinating history. The grounds alone are worth a visit no matter what time of year it is. The drive through Highclere Park to the castle gives you a real feel of the place, and I would say to anyone visiting this area that Highclere and its Castle are a must.

Selected: Highclere Castle

It has been the home of the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon since the late Earl died in 2001, and the home of their ancestors, the Herbert family since the early 18th century. It was the 3rd Earl who built the present house in 1842 and his son, the 4th Earl who arranged the rooms.
