Hever Castle
October 13, 2011
After lunch we headed out to have a look at Hever Castle. This 700 year old castle was the home of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry v111 and mother of Queen Elizabeth 1. The castle has been immaculately restored and the beautifully panelled rooms are filled with tapestries, furniture, antiques and portraits. The Gatehouse and curtain walls were constructed in 1270 and you can listen to an audio of the ?full history as you walk through the castle. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and this time of the year as the leaves are starting to turn, the autumn colours are lovely. The huge lake (38 acres) that was dug out by hand is bordered by willows and there are 4000 roses in the English Rose Garden. We have added some pictures below but I’m not sure that they really do it justice.
