Hever Castle, Royal Tunbridge Wells
& Penshurst Place

A full day tour through the Kent countryside, visiting Hever Castle, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Penshurst Place and Gardens.

Hever Castle

Hever Castle dates back to 1270 and was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife and mother of Elizabeth I. In 1903 the castle was bought by William Waldorf Astor, who lovingly restored the castle and gardens. The house is filled with a magnificent collection of furniture, tapestries and works of art. The unique Italian Garden is a four acre walled garden containing a superb collection of sculptures. Not to be missed are the Rose Garden, Tudor Garden and the Water Maze.

Royal Tunbridge Wells

Royal Tunbridge Wells has been attracting visitors for 400 years. Its reputation as the place to see and be seen amongst royalty and the aristocracy over the years makes the history of Tunbridge Wells one of the most colourful in England. King Edward VII officially recognised the popularity of the town in 1909 by granting it a ‘Royal' prefix. The town became known as Royal Tunbridge Wells, one of only two towns in England to be granted this title.

Penshurst Place

One of Kent's loveliest historic houses lies in the rural weald of Kent surrounded by ancient parkland. It has been described as the grandest and most perfectly preserved example of a fortified manor house in all England and has been home to kings and noblemen for over 650 years. The enchanting formal gardens are a rare example of Elizabethan design - here you will be able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of a truly English Garden.
