Layer Marney Tower with a Cream Tea, Essex
Spend the morning in Maldon for some free time to obtain lunch before continuing to Layer Marney Tower. Although it is the tallest Tudor Gatehouse in the country, Layer Marney Tower doesn’t dominate the skyline until you are almost upon it. The site was chosen following the defeat of the Anglo Saxons at the Battle of Maldon in 991, as a good look out point. The Marney family had a dwelling here probably from 1166, but it is the Tudor Palace, built by Henry, Lord Marney, that people now go to see. Enjoy an informative guided tour and get a feel for the Tower and why it is such a grand and ornate building that was never finished. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious cream tea.
We must be aware of any dietary requirements before you travel.
PLEASE NOTE: Not all of the tower is wheelchair accessible.
