Set amidst the extensive Home Park of Windsor Castle, Frogmore House is surrounded by fine and picturesque gardens.
The house dates from the 1680s and was purchased for Queen Charlotte in 1792. Here the Queen was able to indulge her love of botany and laid out the garden with many rare and unusual plants.
At one time the house was the home of Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent. After her death, her son-in-law, Prince Albert, commissioned the building of an elegant mausoleum to hold her remains. Queen Victoria was particularly fond of Frogmore's peaceful ambience and it became her favourite retreat.
Victoria and Albert's love of Frogmore lead them to break with tradition and build themselves a much larger and grander mausoleum for themselves.
Favoured also by King George V and Queen Mary, they used Frogmore for entertaining during Ascot Week.
Today, with its handsome house and tranquil gardens, it is easy to imagine the love Frogmore inspired in its former residents.
Frogmore House is usually open to pre-booked groups of 15 or more people during August each year. Frogmore is also open to individuals on three Charity Open Days, when all proceeds are donated to specially selected charities. All dates for 2022 have now passed. Dates for 2023 have not yet been announced.
The 35-acre gardens at Frogmore House were laid out for Queen Charlotte in the 1790s, based on a model 'picturesque' landscape, with winding lakes, wooded mounds, glades, walks and bridges.
Bring your own picnic and enjoy views of Queen Victoria's Tea House and the 18th-century lake. Refreshments will also be available to purchase in cash only.
Frogmore House and Garden will next be open for pre-booked groups only, in August 2023.
