Walmer Castle and Gardens

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Coastal artillery fort built by Henry VIII. Over time Walmer evolved from its original purpose to become a comfortable country residence. It was inhabited by the Duke of Wellington in his role as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and it was here that the victor of Waterloo died in 1852. There are displays on Wellington and the role of the Lord Warden.
Garden: Gardens surrounding a Tudor artillery fort that later became the official resience of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. The moats of the fort were filled in and planted with flowers; there are woodland walks, herbaceous borders, a working kitchen garden, and yew hedges.
