Make your visit to England majestic by walking through over 700 years of British history. Hever Castle dates back to the 13th century and was once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII and Mother of Elizabeth I.
In time Hever Castle has formed the unlikely backdrop to a sequence of events that changed the course of Britain’s history, monarchy and religion. Home to some of the finest furniture, tapestries and antiques which are now regarded by some of the best collections of Tudor portraits.
There is also the option of boating at the castle's private lake as an optional extra and requires pre-booking (we advise booking at least 1 week in advance).
