This year’s summer exhibition at Highcliffe Castle looks at Highcliffe as a holiday destination.

This covers quite a lot of fascinating castle history. It seems that Lord Bute who was first to live on the site had an early beach hut.

In 1912 Marie Curie had a secret holiday at Chewton Bunny.

The Cliffhanger cafe started in 1900 as a thatched tea house.

Wish you were here! Looking back on Highcliffe Holidays, which is well worth seeing for a new insight of Highcliffe Castle, continues until Sunday 8 September.
