Royal
Tennis Court, Hampton Court
Palace
Far from
being a museum, the Royal Tennis
Court at Hampton Court Palace is
the oldest tennis court in the
world - and is still in use
today.
However,
members of the public can gain
admittance to see it. Times are
shown on the official
website.
If matches
are being played visitors can see
the games in progress, the site
states.
Matches of
real tennis, out of which lawn
tennis grew, are played on a
court with walls on four
sides.
King Henry
VIII played tennis at
Hampton Court.
