Discover a Tudor fortress turned country house with over eight acres of award-winning gardens. Walmer Castle was built by Henry VIII and later became home to the Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports, including the Duke of Wellington and the Queen Mother.
New for 2024, visitors can now explore the private rooms of the Lord Warden and see where the Queen Mother stayed during her visits.
See the Duke of Wellington’s bedroom and his famous Wellington boots, wander around the stunning gardens and relax in the Glasshouse Café. Take on the family play trail and enjoy daily volunteer led tours of the atmospheric ‘rounds’ underneath the castle.
