Open Details
We continue our journey to the places of historical heritage. Highclere, a castle built in the XVII century on the foundation of an older palace, the first information about which dates back to 749, draws attention even from far away. The fortress repeatedly served the cause of humanity. During the First World War a hospital for injured soldiers was organized here and during the Second World War the evacuee found home in the castle. You will learn about the earls of Carnarvon, whose family is closely related to this colossal architectural creation, during your visit. Don’t forget to walk on the adjoining territories.
