Amberley Castle, West Sussex
Southern England’s quaint countryside village of Amberley is the gorgeous setting for the medieval Amberley Castle, whose 12-acre grounds, brick-and-timber manor, and barrel-vaulted Great Hall hide behind a 60-foot curtain wall complete with a still-working portcullis. Founded 900 years ago as a bishop’s manor house, the property has since been upgraded into a luxury retreat, with regal bedrooms that feature four-poster beds, Tudor-style windows, and working fireplaces. After dining alongside suits of armor, take a stroll through the grounds, which have its own croquet lawn, tennis court, and 18-hole putting green.
