Hever Castle


We begin outside Hever Castle where large numbers of visitors are seen passing under the portcullis gates into the castle's interior. A ‘village’ of Tudor-style cottages are also seen. After several shots of flowers and a topiary garden we then move to an Italian Garden, populated with classical buildings and sculptures. As craftsmen repair a marble fountain, visitors walk about the ornamental garden. We end at the River Eden just in time for afternoon tea.
