Where did Ada and William King spend their honeymoon?

Ada and William King spent their honeymoon at Ashley Combe near Porlock Weir in Somerset. The property was a country retreat that William improved in preparation for their 1835 marriage.

Ashley Combe had originally been built as a hunting lodge in 1799. William spent heavily on the house and grounds before the honeymoon, helping turn it into a more comfortable and romantic residence for his new bride. Ada first visited after their wedding in July 1835.

The couple continued returning to Ashley Combe after the honeymoon, and it became their summer retreat. Ada wrote letters from there and continued her intellectual work while staying in the Porlock area. The estate therefore mattered both personally and professionally.

The alternatives refer to different parts of the Lovelace story: St James's Square was associated with London life, Ockham Park was their Surrey home, and Horsley Towers later became the family's main house.
