Walmer Castle is a Tudor fortress turned country house. For nearly three centuries, it’s been the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, an office granted to some of Britain’s most famous people, including the Duke of Wellington and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Highlights include the elegantly planted kitchen garden and glasshouses, the dramatic Queen Mother’s Garden designed by Penelope Hobhouse , a Jungle Moat with rare and unique exotic plants, and the sweeping herbaceous Broadwalk with its distinctive ‘Cloud Hedge’. Also, our large collection of dahlias are expected to be in full bloom.
