About Strawberry Hill House
When visiting Twickenham and looking for a cultural and historical day out, look no further than the stunning Strawberry Hill House. Horace Walpole's Gothic Castle, created in the 18th Century, is internationally famous as Britain’s finest example of Georgian Gothic revival architecture - also inspiring the first gothic novel The Castle of Otranto.
Visiting Strawberry Hill is a truly theatrical experience. Magically lit by a unique collection of renaissance glass, its gloomy castle-like hall and grey gothic staircase lead dramatically to the magnificence of the gallery. Visitors can marvel at the magnificent architecture of the castle, or can take a stroll around Walpole’s garden surrounding it - with its winding paths, grove of trees, lilacs, syringas and honeysuckles ‘hanging down in festoons.'
