By gracious permission of Her Majesty The Queen, the National Gardens Scheme Charitable Trust opens Frogmore Gardens which lies in the tranquil setting of Windsor Castle’s Home Park and provides a wonderful opportunity to see one of Queen Victoria’s favourite retreats. .

At one time the house belonged to Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent. After her death, her son-in-law, Prince Albert, commissioned the building of an elegant mausoleum to hold her remains. Queen Victoria was particularly fond of Frogmore's peaceful ambience and it became her favourite retreat. Victoria and Albert's love of Frogmore led them to break with tradition and build a much larger and grander mausoleum for themselves. (Not open on this day).

Here the Queen was able to indulge her love of botany and laid out the garden with many rare and unusual plants. The House is open but the entrance fee is payable as an OPTIONAL EXTRA on the day.
