The Tree House, the Queen, and a Secret Door

Just returned from a truly captivating journey through time at the ever-beautiful Pitchford Estate, a proud member of Historic Houses and a testament to the importance of heritage access.

It’s so rewarding to enjoy and support places like this, ensuring that their rich stories and breath-taking beauty remain accessible and understood – they are place where parts of the soul of the country are held.

We were thrilled to finally see the famous tree house, a whimsical structure that evokes a sense of childhood magic and ingenuity.

Stepping into the room where Princess Victoria, later Queen Victoria, resided during her visit was a delight imagining the young princess amidst these very walls. And the thrill of uncovering the secret door in the panelling, leading to the priest hide with its intriguing numbered drawer compartments, was a very curious experience!
