Hampton Court Palace was King Henry VIII's favourite royal residence. It is brimming with thrilling stories and beautiful sights. Inside the building you can visit the medieval Great Hall where William Shakespeare’s company once performed, as well as the huge Tudor kitchens and the Haunted Gallery. There is also much to see on the outside of the palace, what with the puzzling maze, the palace's beautiful gardens and a large park. Other highlights include daily tours and talks, as well as the annual Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.

Whitewater rafting, stand-up paddle boarding, and tubing are all offered with professional instruction, guided tours, and necessary safety equipment. Sun Country Tours will set you up with thrills or relaxation at your request.

The 3500-acre-wide Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve also makes for good hiking grounds. On its 1.2-mile boardwalk, between dense trees and bayous, you'll meet herons, egrets, alligators, turtles, and other typical Floridian fauna.

The Royal Place is a graceful building with an impressive facade of 80 hectare, and its seven 80 feet high doors symbolise the seven days of the week. Although the palace is not open to public, it is worth the visit for an astonishing view onto itsoutstanding structure.
