childhood home of Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII's unlucky second wife
Hever Castle in Kent dates back to the 13th century & is known as the 'pocket-sized' castle or 'chocolate box castle'. It's small enough to imagine living in it. In Tudor times Hever was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, the second of the six wives of King Henry VIII.
Hever owes much of its current splendour to Lord Astor, who spent large sums from his personal fortune restoring it in the early part of the 20th century and filling it with treasures.
The magnificent Italian Garden was designed to display Astor's collection of Italian sculpture and the lake provides a backdrop to summer open air theatre events.
Jousting tournament re-enactments take place through summer months.
By contrast is Eltham Palace, a medieval great hall frequented by King Henry VIII, now with an art deco extension. It shouldn't work, but it does, magnificently!
