Explore the grounds of the boyhood home of Henry VIII, Eltham Palace, while on the hunt for some hidden Easter eggs. Unearth all the eggs trail laid out across the grounds and you'll receive a chocolate treat. This is a great way to get all the family to explore the beautiful landmark building used as a royal residence from the 14th to the 16th century. The original palace dates back to 1305 when it was given to Edward II by the Bishop of Durham, Anthony Bek. After a period of restoration in the 1930s which gave the Great Hall some Art Deco touches, the property came under the management of English Heritage.About Eltham Palace
Restored by English Heritage, this fantastic house offers visitors the chance to indulge in the opulence of 1930s Britain whilst at the same time experiencing the solidity and symbolism of medieval London. Eltham Palace began to evolve during the 15th century when Edward IV commissioned the Great Hall, which survives today as a testament to the craftsmanship of the period. More about Eltham Palace
