Hever Castle has a wealth of history; most recognizably it was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn.
The original medieval defensive castle with its gatehouse and walled bailey was built in 1270. In the 15th and 16th centuries the Boleyn family added the Tudor dwelling within the walls. The Castle was then owned by a number of families before William Waldorf Astor invested time, money and imagination in restoring the Castle, building the ’Tudor Village’ and creating the gardens, lake and golf club.
The Guthries, a Yorkshire family based in Scarborough are the current owners of the Hever Castle Estate. During their custodianship they have invested greatly in the historical integrity of the estate and are helping to make Hever Castle more environmentally friendly.
After you have enjoyed the magnificent surroundings you will be driven back to your accommodation in London or to a central location within the city.
Take a relaxed, non rushed and private tour tailored personally to you.
