Walmer Castle

Walmer Castle : The Michelin guide review

Walmer Castle was turned into an elegant home with some fine 18C gardens. Once official residence of the Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports (five ports: Dover, Hastings, Hythe, Sandwich and Romney), the castle recently became the Queen Mother's. There are numerous souvenirs here linked to the successive governors, including the boots of the Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) and the armchair he died in.
