Make time to visit this magnificent moated fifteenth-century castle set in beautiful parkland and superb Elizabethan gardens. Built originally as a country home in the mid fifteenth century, Herstmonceux Castle embodies the history of medieval England and the romance of renaissance Europe. Your experience begins with your first sight of the castle as it breaks into view. In the grounds you will find the formal gardens including a walled garden dating from 1570, a herb garden, the Shakespeare Garden, woodland sculptures, the pyramid, the water lily filled moat and the Georgian style folly. The woodland walks will take you to the remains of the three hundred year old sweet chestnut avenue, the rhododendron garden from the Lowther/Latham period, the waterfall (dependent on rainfall), and the 39 steps leading you through a woodland glade. Whilst you are here don't forget to visit the gift shop, tea room, visitor's centre, children's woodland play area and nature trail.
