Sandringham House

Description:
Built in 1870 by the Prince & Princess of Wales, later King Edward VII & Queen Alexandra, Sandringham was once described as 'The most comfortable house in England'. It has been passed down as a private home through four generations of British monarchs & is now the country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen & His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. The main ground floor rooms, regularly used by the Royal Family, are open to the public & the decor & contents remain very much as they were in Edwardian times. Both Queen Alexandra & later Queen Mary were great collectors of objets d'art hence the profusion of porcelain, jade & crystal oriental figures. Sandringham is a friendly & informal place to visit with knowledgeable guides in every room ready to talk to visitors. For wheelchair-users, it is totally accessible & for blind or partially-sighted visitors, the guides will bring objects to touch.Website
