Let the romance of Boscobel flow over you. This modest but beautiful timber-framed hunting lodge sheltered Charles II after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. He evaded capture by sheltering in a nearby oak tree, which soon became known as the ’Royal Oak’. He then escaped to France, later returning to restore the monarchy to England in the 1660s. Explore the fully refurbished house and gardens. Visit the dairy, farmyard and smithy.
