Venue information
Open the door to this charming Tudor castle by the sea. Explore eight acres of magnificent gardens, woodland, and sea views now home to the Lord Warden. See the original Wellington Boots. Take a fresh look at the castle and see new displays, hear previously untold stories, and discover a new side to its famous residents.
Discover a castle like no other. Built as a coastal fortress by King Henry VIII, it became the rural retreat for the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Distinguished holders of the post have included William Pitt the Younger, the Duke of Wellington, WH Smith, Winston Churchill and the Queen Mother. All of whom have stayed at the castle at various times and many of whom collected the furniture and artwork that can be seen here today. See highlights from the collection at Walmer Castle.
