Hever Castle is a historic 125-acre estate in Kent renowned as the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII, with over 600 years of documented history. The castle features award-winning gardens, and in 1903 William Waldorf Astor added the Astor Wing and constructed an Italian Garden housing his collection of ancient Greek and Roman statuary. Beyond the castle, the estate offers a 27-hole golf club, jousting events, a Festival Theatre, woodland lake walks, mazes, a miniature model house museum, wellness center, and accommodation options, making it a comprehensive heritage and leisure destination.
