The gardens of the castle of Hever

After the damper of Chidingstone and as soon as there was repaired the third prick of the trip, total in my bike and beginning to raise and to lower hills in direction of the Hever castle. According to my guide a famous place for the gardens that the multimillionaire Waldorf Astoria ordered to construct at the beginning of the XXth century to exhibit his collection of ancient art (plundered to know from which)

Buses replete with pensioners lover of the gardening swirl in a raised area that does the parking times. I approach an eighty-year-old to ask him where I can leave my bike and nicely it indicates where there is a grill of iron discreetly hidden after a hedge me. (In fact here everything is discreetly escondito after a hedge or even more discreetly hidden with ivy)

In the box office hundreds of persons plunder my portfolio and, and 12 pounds charge from me for the entry (not that was Angkor Wat).

For several hours I discover what it is possible to do if you are millionaire and buy to yourself a castle. Although the most surprising thing is not that anybody spends the money in a place that others would consider to be “a patrimony“ the not most graceful thing the fact is that the current proprietor of the castle and the gardens, receives the earnings it is neither any department nor town hall or association for the conservation of the historical places, in fact the castle is a property of a Real estate agency. (I believe that if he had known it it would not have entered, almost I prefer that he receives the Anglican church from me).

That nobody misinterprets me, the place is beautiful and I suppose that every hedge pruned by Eduardo hands scissors deserves the million dollars of the uncle Waldorf but that thing about the real estate agency detaches certain tufillo to business extracts quarters that there masks the aroma of the history of the castle in which Ann Bolena was born.
