Activity Detail Page

Reputedly one of England's finest examples of a Motte and Bailey castle with a splendid 13thC gatehouse, Tonbridge Castle is set in landscaped gardens overlooking the River Medway. The site is well interpreted and there are audio tours of the Gatehouse, bringing to life the story of kings and archbishops, tyrants and heroes, murderers and mercenaries, all of whom have helped to write some 900 years of English history. From the battlements there is a panoramic view over the rooftops of Tonbridge and along the River Medway.
