"Reputedly England's finest example of a motte and bailey Castle with a splendid 13th century Gatehouse. Tonbridge Castle is set in landscaped gardens overlooking the River Medway. The site is well interpreted and there are audio tours of the Gatehouse, bringing to life the story of kings and archbishops, tyrants and heroes, murderers and mercenaries, all of whom have helped to write some 900 years of English history. Experience with interactive displays and life-size figures a vivid recreation of the sights, sounds and excitement of 13th century castle life. Follow in the footsteps of the Red Earl and lend a hand in the guardroom as the Gatehouse comes under noisy attack from a battering ram and seige tower. See how the castle was defended and join the guards for supper, visit the armourers stores and imagine what it was like to be a lord or a lady at Tonbridge Castle 700 years ago. Our audio tour lasts an hour and is available in English, French, Dutch, German and Spanish.We also have written sheets in Japanese and Italian". |
