Hever Castle
by Katie
I lost count of how many times I visited Hever Castle. I think it’s
unique and it reverberates some of the history of England’s kings and
queens long gone.
The castle is in the village of Hever near Endenbridge in Kent. It was
th
built in the 13 century and was once home to the Boleyn family,
nd
where the 2 wife of King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, spent her
childhood years.
The Castle is decorated as it would have been back in Tudor time.
you can see the headboard which ornated Anne Boleyn’s bed in her
old bedroom.
In 1903, William Waldorf Astor bought and restored the castle. He
created the beautiful lake and a romantic Italian garden, which has
ancient Greek and Roman statues.
