This Is How Queen Elizabeth Envisions To Boost Coffers At Sandringham Estate

Sandringham Estate is one of the most important tourist attractions. And now Queen Elizabeth has decided to boost the income of coffers by £1 million a year, according to a report on Daily Mail.

The Queen has come up with a new rule that imposes upon tourists payment for car parking starting February next year. “We had 500,000 visitors last year,” said a spokesperson. ”The estate will implement a car park fee from February to assist with the increasing cost of maintaining facilities and to fund future developments.”

In an attempt to build new pathways to start on an arboretum, this will be the first time when visitors arriving at the country park will be asked to pay. “Every year, thousands of people are welcomed to the Sandringham Estate to enjoy the country park, house, museum and gardens throughout the seasons,” explained the spokesperson.

The car parking fees will be £3 for two hours, £5 for up to four and £7 per day, as per reports. However, visitors will not be charged for the first 20 minutes of parking. The Queen has also decided to introduce season tickets on offer for regular visitors, which cost £40 (single), £60 (couple) and £70 (family).

“In recent years, the number of people and vehicles to the estate has increased significantly, particularly in the country park, which received over 500,000 visitors last year,” revealed the spokesperson.

“In light of the increase in numbers, the estate is undergoing some redevelopments with a view to offering improved facilities for visitors, while also maintaining the landscape and environment for all to enjoy,” the spokesperson added.

It was back in 1862 when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert decided that their eldest son, Edward Albert, be moved into the Sandringham House. When the prince married in 1863, he soon moved into the Palace.

However, they soon realized that the house wasn’t big enough for the prince’s growing family, so it was demolished and was remade. Later, in 1908, as King Edward VII, he initiated that the gardens at Sandringham be opened to the public eye.
