"Reputedly England's finest example of a Motte and Bailey Castle with a splendid 13th century Gatehouse. Tonbridge Castle is set in landscaped gardens overlooking the River Medway. The site is well interpreted and there are audio tours on 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 as it winds its way through the town" Open All Year Monday - Saturday 9am - 4pm Sundays & Bank Holidays 10.30am - 4pm Admission Adults £3.80 Children £1.90 Family 2 adults + 2 children to £9.00 |
