Page 9 of 11: Sudeley Castle, and the Stanton Hike

Gardens at Sudeley Castle

We visited Sudeley Castle on Monday. The castle was once home to Katherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII. The historical artifacts are all well displayed, and we were fascinated with the history of the castle. The grounds and gardens are also elegant – a very worthwhile visit. From there we went to Broadway to pick up some sandwiches, then we drove to the tiny village of Stanton, where we began our next hike. Of course, it rained upon us again, but this was probably our favorite hike, and at this point, the rain was bothering us less and less – seemed normal to rain! That evening we enjoyed dinner at the Lygon Arms, an atmospheric pub with great food and cider, in Chipping Campden.
