🇬🇧 Day Trip from London｜Stunning Medieval Garden Castle & Lake
Spent the most magical weekend exploring Hever Castle in Kent with friends! 🏰✨ Just a short escape from the hustle and bustle of London, and you’re transported straight into a fairy tale. 🚆 How to Get There: From London Victoria Station, hop on a train to Edenbridge Town (only 40 mins!). A lovely 20-minute walk through the charming countryside leads you straight to the castle gates. Pro tip: Wear comfy shoes—it’s worth every step! 🎟️ Tickets & Experience: Entry tickets (around £20+ for adults) include access to both the castle and the gardens—total bargain! You’ll also get a handy map 🗺️ to guide you through the estate. The castle might look compact from the outside, but inside? A treasure trove of Tudor history! Wander through Anne Boleyn’s childhood bedroom, marvel at Henry VIII’s artifacts, and explore everything from grand dining halls to cozy children’s rooms—yes, even the medieval loos are on display! 😆 🌸 The Real Highlight? The Gardens & Lake! The gardens are absolutely breathtaking—think vibrant flower beds, serene pathways, and hidden nooks perfect for a picnic. The lake is massive, dotted with rowboats, happy dogs 🐕, and even the occasional outdoor event. Walk as far as you like along the sprawling lawns—it feels like stepping into a Jane Austen novel! 🎭 Bonus Fun: The Maze! Right by the castle entrance, there’s a hedge maze where you can play hide-and-seek with friends. So much laughter and chaos—pure joy! 😂 💬 Let’s Chat! Have you been to Hever Castle?
