Hever Castle |

There have been three main periods in the construction
of this historic castle. The oldest part of the castle
dates to 1270 and consisted of the gatehouse and a
walled bailey. In the early 1500’s, the Bullen family
bought the castle and added a Tudor dwelling within the
walls and so it became the childhood home of its most
famous inhabitant, Anne Boleyn. It later passed into the
ownership of Henry’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. From
1557 onwards the Castle was owned by a number of
families including the Waldegrave’s, the Humfreys’ and
the Meade Waldo’s. Finally, in 1903, William Waldorf
Astor invested time, money and imagination in restoring
the Castle, building the ’Tudor Village’ and creating
the gardens and lake.

Sandwich
is an historic medieval town in Kent, south-east
England. It was one of the
Cinque Ports
and still has many original medieval buildings. While
once a major port, it is now two miles from the sea.
Sandwich is an ideal destination to enjoy a relaxing
break; it has a charm that is unique with miles of
public walkways in the surrounding countryside. The
River Stour is very much part of Sandwich as are the
surrounding golf courses.
