<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
Hever Castle began as a country house in 1270.<br />
Later, in the 15th. Century, whilst in need of repair,<br />
it was converted to a Manor House owned by Geoffery Boleyn.<br />
He had a Tudor House built within its walls.<br />
His grandson inherited the estate from his brother in 1505.<br />
One of his children was Anne Boleyn, future wife of Henry V111.<br />
When Anne’s father died the property came into the possession of the King.<br />
In subsequent centuries the estate was owned by wealthy family after wealthy family.<br />
With its connections to Royal History the venue attracts huge numbers of visitors, all year, from all over the world.<br />
The grounds are truly splendid. There is a Yew Maze and Water Maze, gardens and lakes, as well as the moat around the castle itself.<br />
In summer, jousting and archery displays entertain the visitors.<br />
There is a children’s Adventure Playground, an Italianate Garden, rose gardens, herb garden, and fine examples of hedge and bush topiary, as well as three restaurants.<br />
The setting is adorned by a plethora of superb mature trees,<br />
 both coniferous and deciduous.<br />
I would bargain that few visitors would be disappointed<br />
by so many visually inspiring sights.</p>
