The magnificent castle, constructed in 1066, stands as a captivating attraction in Kent. Situated in the heart of Tonbridge town, this stunning castle offers a delightful experience for visitors. It is an ideal destination for a leisurely early morning stroll around its premises. Furthermore, the castle is conveniently located next to a swimming centre, providing an additional recreational option. Ample parking space is available at an affordable cost, ensuring a hassle-free visit. Additionally, the bustling high street, adjacent to the castle, boasts a diverse range of shops for those seeking retail therapy. An array of pubs and restaurants line the streets, catering to various culinary preferences. I highly recommend this remarkable castle as a must-visit destination.

Really nice place to spend some time with interesting events and concerts. Really nice surrounding grounds

Absolutely delightful experience with Illuminate. We went during the night so the lights were blinding of course. But I think the castle itself wouldn't be much of a place to visit. It was a small castle and good for a pleasant walk. But absolutely loved the vibe. My 4 yr old kid had plenty of fun.

Great piece of 900 years of history to learn.
The castle located just off the high street with a handy car park near by.
It took us just under an hour to go through all parts of the castle.
We were given very easy to use the audio guide, which helped not only with lots of details about each part, but was guiding us all the way through. There is also a video presentation available for you to find out about the castle and its history.
Lots of realistic figures inside of the castle.
Be prepared to the very steep strairs if you would like to go to the top of the tower to see the panoramic view of the town.
To enter the castle you will need the key fob, which you will be given at the shop.
Definitely recommend it!

Came Sunday evening for the Illuminations and definitely not disappointed. Castle has done an amazing job with the xmas lights this year. Great experience for all the family. Could not recommend more. Even the xmas market on site was fantastic with alot to offer .

The castle has been restored a lot since I moved from Tonbridge. At that time only a small part, the guardroom was accessible, there were no floors or roof in the other tower. Now the tour takes you into the other tower and into the great hall above the gateway, down to the lower level, along a tunnel and you pop up in the guardroom tower! The tableaux are excellent, figures very realistic and the audio guide very interesting. The stairs to the top of the tower are very steep but wider than expected so it wasn't difficult to get right out to enjoy a panoramic view of the town. I think it's well worth a visit and a reasonable entry fee.

We brought tickets in advance, as wasn't sure if you could get them on the day, when we turned up it as pretty hot day , we went to resection and got are key throbs ( as need them get into the castle keep )
I take about a hour to go around the castle, nice little gem

Definitely had the wow factor . The arches as you walked through. Superb .The festival there had such a fantastic atmosphere and the band were top class. ABBA and Stevie Wonder tributes . Light and fireworks and food were fabulous and staff were great. 1st class.

Illuminate Tonbridge Castle, definitely worth visiting, plenty of carparks within a ten minute walk to the castle.

I walked around the outside on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely worth a visit.

Ticked off another English castle. Well presented with a decent audio guide.

Visited around the castle for Tonbridge Castlemas. The castle itself was great, really lovely to walk around and through. Didn't go inside.
Parking directly outside - pay and display. Can get really busy during events

Visited the outside - going again and will enter the castle - wherever I go I try to visit all the places of interest - have read up about this 13th century castle. They have a park and an area where you can picnic. Really nice for children.

Free to visit the grounds of the castle which are located in the centre of Tonbridge, you can also walk through the middle of the castle. Whilst walking around the grounds there are good views of the castle from above. The grounds often host events such as food markets which do get very busy but there's plenty of space to find some peace and quiet. There is also a cafe and shop on site which are both free to access.

Castle ruins to explore in a somewhat walled enclosure. There is a great open space that hosts quote a few community events.
A curio shop with a small cafe, toilets and a post office. Parking located close by (vouchered).

A little castle “just the gate “
Not much to see but the view from the top is nice. Tonbridge it's a nice town with a lot of restaurants and pubs and walks by the river. Car park available

What a stunning castle and park grounds ideal for picnics and gathering with friends and family. A challenging ascent to the top of the sloping hill but well worth it for the views.

Divine old castle, beautifully maintained and easily accessible to the public. Lovely gift store with plenty of memorabilia available for purchase.
