UNLIMITED ACCESS TO OVER 400 HISTORIC PLACES
Live and breathe the story of England at royal castles, historic gardens, forts & defences, world-famous prehistoric sites and many others.
With support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, a £2.3m project is currently underway at Walmer, aiming to revive and reunite gardens begun by William Pitt the Younger and assisted by his niece, Lady Hester Stanhope. The rejuvenation of these historic pleasure grounds will be combined with significant improvements to our visitor facilities, and we are looking forward to the unveiling of this exciting project early in 2019.
