Fancy exploring a hunting ground used by King Henry VIII, a garden designed by Capability Brown and a kitchen garden which fed generations of Georgian royals? You can do just that this weekend.
The Royal Ramble, aimed at families with children age 5+, is a 5km route through Hampton Court Palace gardens and nearby Home Park, solving clues and following a trail along the way to learn more about the history of Hampton Court Palace and the wildlife that lives in the vicinity.
If you've got energy left over, a picnic lunch is provided for all those taking part, and those who want to do even more exploring can visit Hampton Court Palace free of charge.
The event is a fundraiser for London's Air Ambulance and Historic Royal Palaces (the charity which looks after Hampton Court, the Tower of London and the like).

The Royal Ramble takes place on 17 April (that's this weekend), 9am-3pm. Participants need to register in advance, costing £45 for a team of up to five people, with a minimum fundraising target of £150.
