My second visit in eighteen months took place in a very different season. Again, I toured the entire palace but not all the grounds--only the gardens created by King William III and Queen Mary II.
My favourite heraldic beast at the palace entrance is this greyhound.

Fortunately, one of the guided tours on offer was King William's apartments. Here is our costumed guide, who knew much interesting lore about the King and his court..
The focus of the special exhibit was the history of the gardens. The video showed the design of the gardens by William and Mary.
