Bolebroke Castle- Hartfield, East Sussex

Bolebroke Castle

Hidden away from the noise and pollution of main roads, on a 30 acre estate, stands the magnificent Bolebroke Castle.

Built in approximately 1480, Henry VIII hunted in nearby Ashdown Forest and used Bolebroke as his hunting lodge. The proximity of Hever Castle, only 8 kilometres away, also made this a perfect base from which to court Anne Boleyn.

Bolebroke is home to 16th century furniture and tapestries and one of the finest Elizabethan staircases in existence. It was also recently used as a location in the movie ‘The Other Boleyn Girl.’

The Henry VIII Experience exhibition brings the story of Henry VIII’s courting of Anne Boleyn to life.
