Walmer castle and gardens

This Tudor Castle has been transformed over the years into an elegant home and residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.  Today visitors can see the principle rooms and enjoy the garden created for HM The Queen Mother's 95th birthday.  Another famous resident was the Duke of Wellington - see his bedroom with the simple camp bed  and the chair where he died.   His famous boots and his uniform are on show.  The beautiful gardens are well worth a visit and there is a wild area with tracks for exploration.  There is also a gift shop and coffee shop offering yummy snacks. Once you have gone , you will want to go again!
