“Romantic Elton Hall is set in the beautiful landscaped gardens of the Elton Estate. The house is a higgledy piggledy mix of architectural styles from the 15th to the 18th centuries. There are turrets, pinnacles and French towers that, from afar, make it look like a fairy tale castle. Add the highly scented summer rose garden and it’s a bit like stepping into the tale of Sleeping Beauty. In 1560 the house was given to the then Lord Mayor of London, by Queen Elizabeth I. Within its walls lie a tower built during the reign of Henry VIII. A prayer book belonging to him, complete with his handwriting and that of two of his wives, can be seen in the superb library. There is also a Victorian marble hall, dining room and chapel. Outside, there is an Edwardian garden including, pathways, lily pond and the rose garden. As with the grounds of Sleeping Beauty’s castle, this fell into disrepair but was restored to life in the 1980s. ”

“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”
John, UK
“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
Linda, New Jersey
