Anne, Mary and George are my many-time 2nd cousins. We share Howard great-grandparents. I have always felt so bad for what happened to all of them. I know many share my empathy and sympathy for them.
It was quite busy when we went, I think because most indoor places were closed and so outdoor space was at a premium. Still it did spoil it as the grounds are huge so you can find quiet spots.
I came across your channel by accident . Coincidentally I visited Hever in 1991 when I was studying in the UK. This video brought back great memories of my visit to the wonderful place
I went here October 2016. Not many people around… the gardens were so peaceful. I need to re visit again soon. I’m going Hampton court palace for my birthday this year.
I'm from Australia, we had a great day at Hever Castle in 2019, the gardens were beautiful. And I can confirm that the Henry IIIV pub has very comfortable couches in their beer garden!!!
I didn’t realise that Hever Castle and gardens were so big. Thank you for this as I don’t envisage ever being able to go visit. Love all of your tours. Thank you.
You should have your own TV show on the history channel! this is a great video, professionally filmed, perfect music and so much history. Lots of lovely places to visit in the UK. Thank you
Thanks Gill. That's very humbling. It is a fascinating place and I am not really a historian, just did some research on its past and I learnt a lot before passing it on in the video. I think it's always nice to learn a bit about a place you are visiting. Seen too many YT videos that have great shots but don't tell you anything. Hopefully, it was balanced and not to heavy on the history!.

Wonderful to actually see Hever, I've read so much about it, and now have a real ambition to see it, in person. I was surprised to learn the Astor family still owned the estate as late as 1983; but then, I'm an American, I associate the Astors with the history of my own country, and tend to forget there's a family line in England, too. Thanks for this peek at the castle and its beautiful grounds. EDIT: I just learned there are now more Astor descendants living in the U.K. than here in the U.S.!
Hello Karen, Glad you enjoyed the video and found out some new information. Hope you do manage to make it over and visit as you cannot beat it for real!
You will fall instantly in love the first time you see Hever, i did, i can hardly tear myself away at the end of my visit. Hever is in Kent, it has many beautiful historic places to see and visit, Leeds Castle is not to far away, and the home of Winston Churchill, Chartwell, is close by.
So very beautiful, I love Tudor history but unfortunately I am disabled and can't visit places of interest so thank you so very much for taking me on your journey.
Same here when I was younger I hardly had the chance to go anywhere my husband busy at work hardly took us anywhere just me and him or as family now I have arthritis and getting weak and can’t walk knee pain back pain.
@@hajira5013 so very sorry to hear of your pain it's a good job these lovely people take us on their adventures and open up a whole new world for us. Please take care and I do hope your good days far outweigh the bad. Regards.
@@junemckenzie3380 thank you so much Jane, yes lucky we get to explore thanks to these wonderful videos some places I forgot about about since childhood and some places I never knew or forgot even existed taking me on a wonderful journey like I seen it with my own eyes thank you .
I am loving all your travel guides! So professionally done, with researched voiceover and lovely music. I have a request: might you make a long video of just all the gardens and music, with just some small annotation of where we are? I am unable to travel at the moment, and your garden films are so healing for me. Thank you again, and much luck with your channel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello thanks for the lovely comments, glad that you find the videos helpful and interesting. We have quite a few up and coming videos in the pipeline but with bare in mind your request best regards.
Who knew that one person could make such a difference in the world in so many ways. People need to take their lives seriously. Henry was a madman! Thanks for this video. Who knew he would have lost the castle. I believe the Asters lost their lives on the Titanic.this was excellent!! The gardens are stunning!
Great videos. I love your historical commentary and your choice of music. Music is not too loud as well. I never have to adjust my volume between music and commentary. Bravo!
Been too Hever a few times over the year's. This is beautifully filmed & produced. Don't think Anne Boleyn would recognise much of the grounds though as it's changed so much over the centuries since.
Another excellent tour! I can remember visiting Hever many times when I lived in Kent in the 70's.Shall definitely return and stay at Hever when travel re-commences.Thank you
THANK YOU for the EXCELLENT video-- I love castles.. must have been a knight or something in my previous lives.. ha. GREAT JOB though- beautifully done!!
Hello David, thanks for watching and enjoying the castle tour. You might like our castles playlist with a few more to watch czcams.com/play/PL7ZS1Ml0SItRd_8Nv5U54qcL3wOO3nPbE.html
I visited the castle more then 30 years ago .It was in Yuly and the rose garden was full of roses! There was a beautiful labyrinth, maybe it does not exist anymore! Greetings from Venice!
We visited in early April, but as you can tell, it was very cold!! The labyrinth is still there, but unfortunately closed due to Covid restrictions at the time. Have you explored any other parts of England? We were in Puglia last year, absolutely loved it… and it goes without saying, Venice is spectacular
Thanks Andy, very historic place and glad you appreciate the history lesson. It is indeed a lot of work to hopefully get it all correct but interesting at the same time.
Interesting to see the white doves. Perhaps, for the two Anne’s that had it so hard dealing with Henry the VIII. Look forward to the inside, thank you.
Had no idea there was so much going on at Hever Castle. Another excellent presentation, we are so impressed by such a professional presentation. Funny, when you showed an overview of the grounds and all the pick nick benches I said I'm sure that can't be a NT property, as there would be only 3- seats if you were lucky!! It was lovely to note all the benches for enjoying such a great day out. I even learnt some things about poor Anne that I didn't know before. (My only slight gripe was I found the music a little competitive in this one!)
Actually this one is not National Trust haha. It’s owned by a private company now. As you go back to our older videos the music is louder, over our time doing this we have learnt to use better music and quieter. 😊
@@MemorySeekers I thought it might have been an older one - but you really are very talented with your filming, editing, b-roll, voice overs - everything is SO professional. My husband was very impressed do appreciate the less-is-more so far as background music goes. On one you had gulls going over which sounded as if they were in my garden - which they weren't but that was great! (If I was a betting woman I could have made out with that NT assumption!! I don't understand the lack of benches, unless people nick them?!!) He-he! Have a great Sunday.
Wow...its fantastic castle, historical castles are my special interest, your videos are increasing my future bucket list. Truly i wasn't aware of many wonderful places ever existed.. thank you
Thank you. As a ( retired ) Medieval Historian, I have visited Hever many, many times, but always a pleasure to see it once again. I particularly enjoyed the tour of the garden area`s - didn`t always have sufficient time to look at them. The Italian Garden is superb in every way - and the cascade water walk is jolly super too, home to quite a number of aquatic birds - delightful :) Once again, thank you, another of your well produced and interesting tours - top shelf !!
Congratulations on a diamond vlog on thsle history and Gardens of this place! I need to go back again as I was not able to get photos of the gardens as the castle took a half a day already!

I came across Anne Boleyn cottage on the way to Hampton palace opposite of the road, it was occupied (the door was slam shut when I was trying to take photo that is how I know 😂) was wondering if you knew the story of the house and how come it is occupied? Will watch this video now, cannot wait to see. Thanks in advance.
I would prefer that your (glorious) back ground music, was not so loud. The more I tried to hear the narration, the more the music muffled the speaker. That being said.. It was an historical and beautiful video. Thank you
When you say it looked very different from when Anne B. lived there what was different. I know all the gardens were done by Astor because Boleyn had only modest gardens

@@mariecleary yes we will try at some point as we need to go inside the house castle as well. Not sure if it will be this year though.
Anne, Mary and George are my many-time 2nd cousins. We share Howard great-grandparents. I have always felt so bad for what happened to all of them. I know many share my empathy and sympathy for them.
How fantastic to be related to the family.
thank you, I was Anne Boleyn in the 16th century, and now I am the mother of all these famous international twins,stolen from me.@@MemorySeekers
How do you find out that you are related
I am so glad there are people dedicated to preserving such beautiful estates!
Yes we are so lucky that people do, and allow us to experience it.
I went to Hever in 1981. It was bliss, low crowds and not as commercial also people were a lot more respectful.
It was quite busy when we went, I think because most indoor places were closed and so outdoor space was at a premium. Still it did spoil it as the grounds are huge so you can find quiet spots.
RIP Anna Bolein🙌🙏🌷.
I pray for you ♡.
@Progressing Pilgrim 🏵🏵🙏.. I heard the same. She was innocent.
That was the only way to accommodate the new wife. "A matter of convenience" from this repugnant King.

Hope you enjoy Hampton Court, have visited many times but not filmed there yet. On the list!
Really must visit this castle now, the childhood home of one of the most fascinating women in history.
Well worth it especially in summer with all the gardens in bloom.
The filming of these videos is wonderful, so cleverly done, so professional - an absolute pleasure to watch !
Lovely to hear thank you so much ☺️

Henry is not a good name for a prince or king as far as as English monarchy is concerned.Just a little joke of course.

I visited Hever Castle in 2018... absolutely BEAUTIFULL🙋♀️
One of our favourites, so much history and wonderful gardens.
Hever Castle is simply beautiful and the white Doves “Perfect”, thank you.
It is a lovely castle and gardens and the doves were so cute!
Construção maravilhosa!
Been too Hever a few times over the year's. This is beautifully filmed & produced. Don't think Anne Boleyn would recognise much of the grounds though as it's changed so much over the centuries since.
Love Hever Castle and its history. You have an excellent voice and superb narration. ❤❤❤

Very tastfully presented
Really showed us the real beauty Hever has to offer. Never seen the gardens shown in such detail
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Really interesting, so much history, such beautiful grounds, I will add this to my list of places to visit.
I like that you put insets of persons you mention & the flashing dates.. Easier to remember :) it was a very good tour, thank you!!
Ahh thank you glad you liked it. Boy did that add time to making the video but yes it was worth it! 😊
It's so beautiful, and I loved visiting Hever a couple of years back. Would go again!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I would like to be back for the Roses and see everything in summer bloom. I think that would be wonderful.
sorry please, is it possible to visit the castle and live in it for like Christmas¿
I hope to visit this beautiful castle 1 day thank you for this wonderful vlog in the meantime
Mary Boleyn was my 14th great grandmother. I enjoyed this very much, thank you.
Wonderful!

beautiful video of a wonderful place, thanks for uploading this video.....this has to be one of the best , if not the best, gardens in the UK.
It is a stunning place to visit I am sure the rose gardens must be incredible in summer.
What a beautifull documentry! Whstbis the musjc at 7.03? And 10.36?
