Visit: Strawberry Hill
Horace Walpole rebuilt the existing Strawberry Hill (starting in 1749) to house his vast collection of fascinating treasures. Walpole called his castle a ‘plaything house’, and intended a tour of Strawberry Hill to be a magical and theatrical experience. It is certainly all of that. Tea, coffee and biscuits included.
