Tonbridge Castle, Kent
The 11th century Tonbridge Castle in Kent was originally built in 1070 and was designed
to protect the Norman invaders from a restive native population. Used as a quarry
in its passed, it was not until the 1950s that the castle was thought worth restoring,
and in 1992 the castle opened as a tourist attraction.
Surrounded by 14 acres of beautiful grounds, Tonbridge Castle boasts Kent's best
example of a Motte-and-Bailey Gatehouse which is among the finest in England. The
castle is owned and operated by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council and has 900
years of rich English history featuring kings and archbishops, tyrants and heroes,
murderers and mercenaries.
On a Gatehouse tour the castles history will come alive and you can experience what
it would have been like to be a Lord or Lady 700 years ago. Take a 1 hour audio
tour that incorporates interactive displays and life-size figures to create a vivid
recreation of the sights, sounds and excitement of the 13th Century castle life.
The audio tour is available in English, French, Dutch and German. Tonbridge Castle
is only 8 miles from Hever Castle which is well worth a look.
