Hever Castle lies a short drive from Tunbridge centre, and is a hugely historic stately building. Originally a 13th century castle, it later became the residence of the Boleyn family. Anne Boleyn spent her childhood here before marrying King Henry VIII. His fourth wife Anne of Cleves also lived here. Now it is a popular visitor attraction filled with Tudor exhibits, coupled with stunning landscaped gardens.
