Hever Castle & Gardens

Hever Castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife. Built in the 13th century, the four-story structure features a massive gatehouse and surrounding walls, beautiful gardens, and a moat. Although untouched by war, the castle retains traditional English castle elements, including a drawbridge and spiked gates. Most of the castle's rooms are open to the public, and visitors can see wax figures of Henry VIII's six wives, Anne's and the King's bedrooms, Elizabeth's chambers, and even the execution chamber.
