Henry IV spent 10 of the 13 Christmases during his reign at Eltham Palace, even entertaining the Byzantine emperor there during the festive period in 1400. 🎄 We think this snowy photo of Eltham really encapsulates the festive spirit! ❄️

Is there anything better than a frosty morning walk? ❄️ …Well, maybe one that ends with a hot drink and a slice of cake! 🍰 📸 Photos from Kenilworth Castle.

On this Remembrance Sunday, we remember the service and sacrifice of those who have served in conflict. The Cenotaph was unveiled by King George V in 1920, and has stood as a symbol of remembrance and gratitude for so many ever since. 📷 1945 at the Cenotaph in London. Getty

A stunning (and slightly eerie) view of Kenilworth Castle wrapped in thick fog. 🏰 As the days grow shorter, it’s the perfect time to make the most of the daylight and watch the site shift from autumn into winter. ✨

Things we love about Autumn: views like this, walks in wellies and hot chocolate. ☕ 📸 Photos are from Audley End, Beeston Castle, Brodsworth Hall and Witley Court. As they say, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing! ☔
