Walmer Castle Broad Walk in 1916 and 2005

The original gardens at Walmer Castle were designed, landscaped and planted in the 1800s by Lady Hester Stanhope, the energetic and eccentric niece of William Pitt the Younger who, as Lord Warden, lived in the Castle.

She later gained fame for touring the Middle East, where - following the death of her uncle - she eventually lived and died .
