Beautiful grounds steeped in history. Came all the way up from Dorset to have a day out here for the second time with my siblings. I highly recommend it to anyone and my favourite highlights is the castle, having a try at archery (where everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful) and getting a rowing boat out for an hr on the lake. There is something for everyone and well worth the money.

Set in the Garden of England, it is the ultimate place to visit with historical beauty and events going on all year round. It is truly an amazing place and good value for money.

Hever Castle is definitely a very special place to visit for young and old alike, we visit as a family as well as sometimes with friends at least once a year.
