Hever Castle. The Water Maze. Cool down in the Water Maze but don’t forget to bring a towel! Situated on Sixteen Acre Island it is a maze with a difference that consists of a series of concentric stepping stone walkways sitting over water; at intervals the stones tilt when stood on and hidden water jets spring into action to soak the unwary visitor. The aim is to reach the stone grotto in the centre without getting wet. Few are successful although it is great fun and challenges young and old alike.
For the Water Maze you must bring towel

It was a long day but worth it. We started at the Dover Castle which was positioned by the English Channel. Loved the history! Then we walked along the white cliffs of Dover. Very calming and beautiful. Our next stop was Canterbury which was a charming village. The history of the Cathedral was fascinating. The last stop was Hever Castle. So rich in history especially if you find Henry the VIII interesting. The gardens surrounding the castle reminded me of Rome. Perfect place for a stroll. Our driver Kamal was professional and kind. He kept us on time so that we could enjoy these wonders! It was a great day!

A driver not a personal tour

This is a driver for the day and not a private tour. A private tour would engage you in the long drive from London, about the landscape we were going through and the places were were going to see and accompany us through those places providing insights. But no, ‘the ticket office is over there and I’ll meet you here in an hour.’ Kamal was a good driver and adapted the day to our preferences. We did have a great day and particularly enjoyed Canterbury Cathedral and Hever Castle. But in the end there was not a lot of value add above transportation to justify the cost.

Fabulous Kent!

Mr. Kamal was a wonderful host. He was not a tour guide, so we didn’t interact a lot. He was very friendly and accommodating. We spent a few hours on Canterbury at the Cathedral and exploring the city. It was breathtaking! We went on to Dover Castle which was also historical and interesting. The best part was our lovely trip to Hever Castle. Hever is endlessly fascinating and beautiful. It may be my favourite place in Britain. Next time I will spend an entire day there. I didn’t see enough of the grounds.

Read the fine print!!

Book your entry to the castles and cathedral at the same time as the tour. Dover and Hever castles were closed during my visit so I did not get to enjoy the tours of those locations. Guide was trying to offer alternates to make up for these omissions.
