A wonderful tour combining Hever Castle and Chartwell. Hever Castle the original medieval defensive castle built in 1270 and was the child hood home to Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII’s second wife and was then, later, home to another of Henry VIII’s wives, Anne of Cleves. Walk through the splendid panelled rooms, marvel at the important Tudor portrait collections and lose yourself in the gruesome torture devices on show. Outside of the castle discover the magnificent award-winning gardens, sit under the veranda of the Japanese Tea House or take a boat out on the beautiful lake. Next stop is Chartwell, the original home of the adult Sir Winston Churchill. The rooms remain much as they were when he lived here, with pictures, books and personal mementoes evoking the career and wide-ranging interests of a great statesman, writer, painter and family man. Take a walk through the hillside gardens or walk a bit further and stretch your legs by strolling through the woodland trails.
