The Duke's lands were confiscated and Thornbury Castle appropriated by Henry VIII, who retained it as a Royal Demesne for 33 years. In 1535 he stayed at the Castle with Anne Boleyn for 10 days. Mary Tudor lived here for some years and when she became Queen she returned the Castle to the descendants of the late Duke in 1554.

Today Thornbury Castle still stands, surrounded by its vineyard, gardens and high walls, with views over the Severn into Gloucestershire and Wales.

Renowned for its fine food and the recipient of many awards, the restaurant has two dining rooms, which are baronial in style, with paneled walls, heraldic shields and large open fires.

ACCOMMODATION
The main apartments have been carefully restored to provide eighteen bed chambers. Each chamber - individually decorated with private bathroom, central heating, color television and direct-dial telephone - still retains original features of the Castle. Several have large Tudor fireplaces, and some have very fine oriel windows overlooking the walled gardens.

OTHER INFORMATION
Thornbury Castle lies on the northern edge of the attractive small town of Thornbury, five miles from the Severn Bridge and the junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways. It is well placed for touring South Wales, the Cotswolds, Wye Valley, Bath, Bristol and Somerset. Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust, Berkeley and Sudeley Castles are all close by, also Badminton House, Castle Combe and Lacock. There is horse racing at Bath, Chepstow and Cheltenham racecourses.
