Hever Castle
希佛城堡
明前龙井
Haywell castle is located in the beautiful rural Kent, Henry VIII's wife Anne Boleyn's childhood home, she was beheaded unfortunately. Although history may be gloomy, gardens are fun. There is a magic rose garden on the ground, which has 4000 roses of different colors. In the grand chess garden there are huge pieces carved by yew trees. The Italian garden includes the Pompeii wall, colonnade and square. The sculpture on the square is inspired by the famous Trevi Fountain in Rome. You may encounter some local bird life, because you walk on the ground, including hens, swans, bluefinches and woodpeckers.

Considering that one of the most beautiful castles in England, Windsor is the first choice to visit the castles in England. It's so weak. After getting off the railway station, I walked there. There were many famous statues in the garden. I walked all day until I closed the door.

Hever castle is far away from the railway station, about a mile on foot and seems to have no sidewalk, so it is recommended to drive there. There will be a £ 2 discount for booking tickets online. If you have the 2for1 coupon of the BBC's gardeners' World magazine, you can get one for free. This coupon can be used in more than 500 gardens, manors, castles and historic sites in the UK. Although hever castle is not big, the interior decoration and furniture are all well restored. William woodorf Astor, an American Hotel tycoon, built the 13th century old castle in a romantic way. The 125 acre garden combines the essence of Italian and British gardens. The long corridor full of vines is an artificial lake full of swans and waterfowls. Choose a sunny summer day, bring a picnic basket, or sit on the ground on the meticulously manicured grass, or walk in a garden full of roses and wisteria, and look far away. It's a lush forest and a sparkling lake. You'll surely be amazed at this trip.

Haywell castle is the home of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife, when she was a child. This year, it will show the origin of the British Christmas tradition. It will show the origin of greeting cards, door-to-door good news, firecrackers, and even the earliest use record of the word "Christmas" between the fire and beautiful decorations. Children can make their own cannon here, and walk along a snow covered Nativity trail through a large, brightly lit green square.

在回Croydon的路上，我们还有一个安排——就是去希佛城堡（Hever Castle）。希佛城堡是亨利八世的第二任妻子Anne Boleyn (在伦敦塔内被亨利八世处死)的童年庄园。我承认，它算不上雄伟，算不上奢华，但却是那种让人一看就会怦然心动，一见钟情的地方。所以，希佛城堡是我最喜欢的城堡之一，我也打心眼里推荐大家前去一游。
