25% discount

Kingsdown Road, Kent, South East England, CT14 7LJ

Overview

Explore over eight acres of award-winning gardens in the grounds of a Tudor fortress turned country house. Built on the orders of Henry VIII to defend England's southern shores, Walmer Castle later became a home for the Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports — among them the Duke of Wellington and the Queen Mother. Inside the castle, there are new areas to discover which have been opened to the public for the first time in 2024. Explore the private rooms of the Lord Warden and see where the Queen Mother stayed during her visits. Look around the apartment and uncover the history of the families that lived there. Parts of the castle are closed in preparation for important conservation work, however there's still lots to see and do. Discover stories and secrets from the castle's past and see some remarkable objects, including a pair of original Wellington Boots. There's plenty to enjoy in the glorious gardens, with flower-filled borders, a kitchen garden, wildflower meadows, shady woodland walks, the restored glen garden and the striking yew cloud hedge in the Broadwalk. And kids will love the brilliant play trail through the woods. Book your visit now to get the best price and get ready for a great value day out at one of Kent's best-loved attractions.
