The Palace's royal gardens cover over 60 acres that run down to the River Thames, featuring sparkling fountains, glorious displays of over 200,000 flowering bulbs and 750 acres of tranquil royal parkland.
Hampton Court Palace originally built for Cardinal Wolsey in 1514, was made famous when it was given to the notorious Henry VIII. Today, the palace is open to the public, and is a major tourist attraction. It is cared for by an independent charity, Historic Royal Palaces which receives no funding from the Government or the Crown.
