Set in some of the most beautiful countryside in the garden of England, romantic Hever Castle near Edenbridge in Kent is famous for being the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I.

With a double moat and drawbridge, the 13th century castle has splendid panelled rooms containing fine furniture, tapestries and an important collection of Tudor portraits and paintings.

Surrounding the castle are glorious parkland walks and four acres of award-winning formal gardens to discover. Each garden has its own style and character, from the giant topiary chess set and herb collection of the Tudor Garden to the magnificent Pompeiian Wall and classical statuary in the Italian Garden.

The celebrated Rose Garden contains over 4,000 roses within its walls, and there’s an impressive herbaceous border stretching over 100 metres.  The gardens also boast a traditionally designed yew maze and water maze. A programme of special events takes place each year including jousting tournaments, medieval entertainment, garden festivals and a country life fair.
