BOYS IN THE HOOD Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman in Windsor Castle SHE IS AMUSED: Judi Dench and Ali Fazal in Victoria & Abdul at Osborne House PURPLE PATCH Ranger's House, Greenwich, main and inset, is dressed as Bridgerton Hall for hit Netflix show

When the Bridgertons aren’t in residence, visitors can marvel at a unique collection of art gathered by diamond magnate Julius Wernher around 1900 — an extraordinary wealth of medieval, Renaissance and early modern works, including masterpieces of international importance.

Outside, a small but stunning garden provides access to Greenwich Park’s incredible rose garden. Take a picnic and enjoy a brisk walk or a quiet amble. While Ranger’s House stands in for exteriors, Halton House, Bucks, owned by the RAF, is used for the interior scenes of the Bridgerton home, such as the grand hall, stairs, and hallways.

Old Wardour Castle, near Salisbury, Wilts, a unique hexagonal 14th century tower house, became Locksley Castle for the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner as the man in green. Built in the 1390s, it came into the ownership of the Arundell Family in the 16th century, and was partially destroyed during the English Civil War. Today the Grade I-listed building offers a glimpse into times past that will delight young and old. Climb the atmospheric stone steps of the east tower and enjoy stunning panoramic views, then picnic in the landscaped grounds surrounded by age-old trees as young adventurers use up some of their energy. Try English Heritage’s new family game, Can you Keep Your Castle?, to help young visitors learn more about Old Wardour's history.
