Highgrove House

Highgrove House has been a much-loved family home of King Charles III since he bought it in 1980, and is where he chose to live with Camilla, now Queen Consort, when he was the Prince of Wales. Highgrove lies two miles south-west of Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England, in the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds.

Since moving in, Charles and his team of experts have famously transformed the gardens, creating a beautiful environment run according to Charles’s environmental principles. Within five years, Charles introduced organic farming on the grounds, and the estate gained full organic status in 1994. Charles opened the Highgrove retail shops in 1992, and the gardens at Highgrove have been open to the public since 1996.
