One of the most fascinating things about Kentchurch Court in Herfordshire is that it has been owned by the same family for 1,000 years, which is an impressive family tree by anyone's standard! The first Scudamore named Ralph was a stonemason and he came over from Normandy in 1042 and built a castle for Edward the Confessor at nearby Ewyas Harold.

The best thing about visiting this castle is the peace and quiet. It is a small site in a small village and the castle mound itself is home to a few solitary sheep. On the day we visited there were no other signs of life, despite it being a glorious early September day.

I wonder how many people clicked on this page expecting to see pictures of a red-brick palace by the Thames, forever associated with Cardinal Wolsey and the extravagances of Henry VIII. If you were one of them, then hopefully you won't be too disappointed to find that this article is about Hampton Court Castle in Herefordshire, not Hampton Court Palace in Surrey. It is an easy mistake to make as the names are so similar, they even both have mazes, but once you have seen one you won't mistake it for the other as they are actually very different.
