There are a few Tudor houses (real) in the grounds which are lovely to see but not enter and we had a good day.
But just in case anyone was going to make a special visit expecting a dolls house.

Hi I found this link for anyone who is interested. You were quite right Dm/Kath he does display there. But not all the rooms on the link were there. As said I was expecting a house with the frontage open to see all the rooms. Silly me

Hi there. I think that there is an exhibition of miniatures in the grounds, at least there was when I was last there, in a round building next to the shop by the house. I don't remember much about the miniatures, I had my cousins 2 toddlers with me and couldn't take a good look. The kids were more interested in the ducks, the shop, and ice cream than miniatures. Meant to go back to have a look but not done it yet...

Hi PP Yes you are right that is where the "scenes" were. See my above posting.
Ducks and Ice cream yep that is a good combination

Hi Carol

Those pictures are lovely, Hever Castle looks like an other good place to visit,,,,,what a shame I live too far away.

You are so lucky to have gone to Hever, it is one of my favourite places to visit. Went to my very favourite place Hampton Court yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, no DH there though I'm afraid
