Lady’s Guide to a Day Trip to Dorney Court

There’s something about Tudor houses. With half-timbered facades and intricate brickwork, they’re straight out of story books. Given how much I love them, today I’m off on a day trip to Dorney Court. This historic home in the English countryside is the perfect place to see an authentic manor from Henry VIII’s day. It’s an easy train trip from London, too. Read on for my guide. I’ve included a map as well.

I’m here now and I can’t wait to show you how to visit the Cotswolds without driving. I’ve included a map, too.
