Apart from it's fascinating history, Hever is just a beautiful and intriguing place to spend time. As well as being at the heart of an event that changed English history for ever it was home to our first ever female MP and is in one of our most picturesque counties. Hever is not only a castle but a home, to both the Tudors and the American millionaire William Waldolf Astor, a man who know a thing or two about how to live well.

Hever Castle & Gardens, Hever, United Kingdom Dating from as far back as 1270 Hever is a gem of a castle that was once the family home to Anne Boleyn, second wife to Henry VIII and a place the King visited during their courtship. It was confiscated during the downfall and execution of poor Anne and over the centuries gradually descended to ruin until rescued and restored by William Waldorf Astor in 1903.
This jewel is beautifully set in Kent, often called The Garden of England, amid fabulously kept grounds and protected from raiders by it’s moat, home to huge koy carp.
Once we make it across the drawbridge we can roam it’s halls, galleries, bedrooms and corridors and enjoy experience it as it was both in Tudor times and also as lived in by the Astors, who lived here in a manner befitting the millionaire hotelier who was married to Nancy Astor, the first woman to sit in the House of Commons.
The grounds themselves are an attraction and often host amazing events such as jousting, (see photos) falconry, music, drama and craft fairs. 300 minutes

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The gardens were a delight and we were fortunate enough to join a conducted walking group around the gardens. This really is a special place to visit. Our visit to the castle itself was really interesting and the staff, doted around the rooms, were really helpful and full of information. We must visit again in the summer.

I tried contacting a few other companies for car service for 1 day, no response. But when I reached out to Mark he responded quickly and had several helpful suggestions for planning our day (like advance ticket purchase).
We were picked up from Heathrow Sofitel promptly in a very nice car and the 4 of us went to Hever Castle. It was nice talking with him about life and history as we drove along.
We had been there before and Mark was very flexible about timing and letting us visit our favorite spots again.
We were able to stay longer that day and as an added bonus, Mark very generously offered to bring 2 of our party to their hotel near St. Pancras Station. This was a huge relief since they would have had to transport on their own in the evening.
Would totally recommend and have him saved as a contact :)

This tour was incredible. Mark was our guide, and he was the absolute best. He took all of our considerations and catered the tour to our preferences. I enjoy ghost stories, and this castle has a lot. Mark knew so many fun and fabulous things. On top of all of it there was a jousting tournament on the property and that just blew our minds. We were able to take pictures, Mark shared his knowledge about the history, and we would not change this experience for the world. This tour was a 10 out of 10.
