Hampton Court – Royal Palace of Faerie

dscf00091While I was swapping computers I discovered a bunch of photographs I took when I went to visit Hampton Court Palace just before writing the first Faerie Path book. I thought you might be interested in seeing some of them.

This is one of the main entrances into the Tudor part of the palace – I think you’d probably get to the Great Hall of Faerie if you went through those gates.

This next one is an internal gatehouse – it may well lead to Eden’s tower, if I remember correctly.

Remember the scene in the Immortal Realm where Tania goes to find Edric and he tells her he’s going to Weir to speak with Lord Aldritch? Well, this is pretty much the modern equivalent of where it happened. Imagine a stone bridge.

I’ll post a few more tomorrow.
