And went to the Tower of London in Half Term, a big tip for the Tower is get there early as by lunch the queues for the crown jewels where huge.

The water maze at Hever is a delight for kids. You creep around on stepping stones through this lagoon. Some of the steps set off fountains (which sprinkle or soak you, depending on where you're standing) when you step on them. It's all very Indiana Jones, without the crushings and impalings. Also (and kids don't care about this a bit) they have the headboard from Anne Boleyn's childhood bed here. It's just eerie to be that close to history. It makes her seem so real.
