English Heritage

Boscobel House is a picturesque hunting lodge full of secrets and stories. King Charles II took refuge here in 1651 after fleeing for his life following Civil War defeat. Peer into the priest hole where he spent the night and discover the story of his visit as you explore the house. A short stroll away, you can see a descendant of the oak tree in which Charles hid for a day as Cromwell’s soldiers searched for him below.

Plus, experience what life would have been like when Boscobel was a thriving Victorian farm, and meet the resident farm animals in the historic stables, barns, and dairy.
