Hever Castle in Kent

Hever Castle, located in lovely countryside south-east of London, is perhaps one of the most enchanting moated castles in Britain. Anne Boleyn (second wife of Henry VIII, later beheaded) was born here in 1509, but she spent much of her childhood at court in France where her father, Sir Thomas Bollen, was an Ambassador. Henry VIII later gave the castle to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, who owned it for the next 17 years.
