Walmer Castle and Gardens Outdoor Learning Kit
Walmer Castle has evolved over 500 years from a Tudor artillery fort to the home of the Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports, including the Duke of Wellington and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Use our Outdoor Learning Kit to discover 8 acres of gardens: from kitchen garden to the newly-open Glen, a planted former chalk quarry accessible for the first time in over 100 years.
Explore the abundant plants and wildlife at Walmer and take on the role of a scientist, artist, or geographer through our self-led activities.
