Osborne House

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Italianate house designed 1845-1850 by Prince Albert as a retreat for himself and Queen Victoria. A grieving Victoria had the house preserved exactly as it was when Albert died in 1861. Watch for crowds; this is one of the most heavily visited houses in Britain.
Garden: Formal Italianate terrace gardens, Victorian walled fruit and flower garden, wild flower meadow. The grounds contain a summerhouse, a museum, and a miniature fort and barracks, as well as the Swiss chalet where the royal children were educated.
