The freedom to explore

Kent's most authentic medieval castle stands guard over the market town of Tonbridge. Situated in the heart of the local community, step from the high street into 950 years of history. Explore the gatehouse, great hall, winding stairs and basement or climb the motte for breathtaking views across the town. Complete your visit with a relaxing picnic on our enclosed bailey lawn. It's the perfect day out for you and your family.
