As a lover of Tudor history, I am sure one of your
favourite things is to hit the road and explore some of your favourite Tudor
properties. If you are from overseas, or simply not familiar with a certain
area in the UK, it can be difficult to know how to make the most of your
precious time away. Well, things are just about to get easier!
On the 1 September 2018, The Tudor Travel Guide will be launching the first in a series of
mini-guide books, or brochures, which will pull together a long weekend
itinerary, packed full of Tudor delights for you to enjoy.
There will be an outline agenda for your Tudor adventure,
and then an in-depth article on the location in question, usually three in
total. There may be a theme to the brochure, such as the Bolyens in the first
edition, where we explore Tudor Kent.
Each article will give a little history of the property,
before going onto lead you through house, bringing alive its sixteenth century
glory by describing the likely layout of the rooms during the period, the key
events which took place there, and of course highlighting areas, objects and
artefacts to look out for.
For those who enjoy taking in their history from a
slightly different angle, an ‘historic walk’ is included, which will be
associated with at least one of the properties in question. Finally, taking the
leg work out of searching for somewhere to stay, two hand-picked accommodation
recommendations are included with each brochure; one luxury, one luxury for
less.
As mentioned, the first edition focuses on properties in
Kent, each with close ties to the Boleyn family; Hever Castle, Penshurst Place
and Pashley Manor (not strictly in Kent but very close to the Kentish border!).
The walk will take us from Hever to Penshurst and our accommodation suggestions
are within a stone’s throw of both properties.
These mini-guides will be published quarterly in an
online format, which you will be able to download in the comfort of your own
home. In order to celebrate this new venture, I am giving away this brochure
FREE exclusively to those subscribing to my blog, The Tudor Travel Guide, as a
‘thank you’ for being part of the community.

time and will receive your brochure on 1 September via email. (Make
