This place is something one would read of in a fairy tale. Sandringham is The Queen’s private estate.
The country retreat of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Sandringham’s gardens were opened to the public by King Edward VII in 1908, and the Museum by King George V in 1930; Sandringham House was opened to the public at Her Majesty The Queen’s wish in her Silver Jubilee year of 1977. Sandringham House is a country house on 8,000 hectares (20,000 acres) of land near the village of Sandringham in Norfolk, England. The house is privately owned by the British Royal Family and is located on the royal Sandringham Estate, which lies within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
