Dorney Court
Location
Windsor
Dorney Court is a fascinating experience. Built in 1440 and lived in by the present family for over 400 years, the rooms are full of history with 15th- and 16th-century oak and beautiful 17th-century lacquer furniture. The adjacent 13th-century church of St James, with Norman front and Tudor tower, can also be visited.
Dorney is the ancient word for “island of bees” and Dorney is famous for its honey which is still produced today. The very first pineapple to be raised in England was grown at Dorney Court and presented to Charles II in 1661.
**From late April until the end of May Dorney Court sells its own homegrown asparagus from the back entrance of the house. This is picked first thing every morning and has usually sold out by early afternoon! For orders and further information please telephone: 01628 604147.**
The Kitchen Garden Centre, a high quality horticultural centre, serves cream teas and light lunches throughout the year.
