Description
Highcliffe Castle as seen from the rear lawn. This elegant mansion sits near the cliff top between Christchurch and Lymington on the south coast of England.
Highcliffe has been host to royalty and many famous people. In total Highcliffe has welcomed 6 kings or future kings, and 10 queens or future queens, plus 22 princes and princesses.
The castle was then rented to a succession of tenants, most notably Harry Selfridge, founder of Selfridges department store in London. Despite the initial success of his business, Selfridge died penniless and is buried in the churchyard of St Marks in Highcliffe.
