Frogmore House

Frogmore House lies in the tranquil setting of the private Home Park of Windsor Castle. A country residence of various monarchs since the seventeenth century, the house is especially linked to Queen Victoria. The house and attractive gardens were one of Queen Victoria's favourite retreats. In the gardens stands the Mausoleum where Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert are buried.

On the day of our visit, we had gorgeous weather, blue skies, and a really long walk! The house and grounds are rarely open to the public...usually, only one weekend a year.
