2014 Osborne House visit

This is my photograph album from a visit to Osborne House on 29th March 2014. As Isle of Wight County Press competition winners, we had a preview of the newly renovated Swiss Cottage, which was as yet not open to the public. The Swiss Cottage (1853) was built in the grounds of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert private estate Osborne House, which they used for more than 50 years. Prince Albert intended the Swiss Cottage to be somewhere their nine children could learn the rudiments of Housekeeping and Cooking. After visit to Swiss Cottage we walked to Osborne Beach, then back up to Osborne House to look around House then out on to the terrace. Due to the Royal collection in the House, photographs are not allowed.
