The picturesque castle at Hever, situated in the heart of idyllic Kent countryside, has a rich and varied history dating back more than 700 years. Delve into the history of Hever Castle from 1270 to the present day in the informative and visually appealing Hever Castle guide book.

Most notably Hever Castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII’s second wife, who became Queen of England for just 1000 days. Yet much of what visitors see today is the result of the remarkable efforts of a wealthy American, William Waldorf Astor, who used his fortune to restore and extend the Castle in the early 20th century, and to assemble its magnificent collection of antique portraits, furniture and tapestries.
