Hever Castle – A fortified manor house that stands romantically in its moat. Hever Castle was built in the 13thC and was the childhood home of Henry VIII’s second wife Anne Boleyn. In 1903, Hever was bought by a rich American, William Waldorf Astor and he transformed and restored it with fine Edwardian craftsmanship and filled it with furniture, tapestries and works of art. He also transformed the grounds, which include an Italian garden with statues, a maze, topiary, a lake and a walled rose garden.
Chartwell – Chartwell was the home of Sir Winston Churchill from 1922-1964, it was a place that truly inspired him. The house which is owned by the National Trust is still as it was when the family lived there, with pictures, books and personal mementoes. The studio has the largest collection of Churchill’s paintings and the garden reflects his love of the landscape and nature.
Ightham and Ightham Moat – The village of Ightham is a picturesque Kent village with half timbered houses, inns and a 12th-15thC church. About 4.8km to the south lies Ightham Moat, a magical, medieval manor house on an island surrounded by a moat. The tranquil gardens have streams and lakes which are fed by natural springs and the estate offers delightful walks and countryside views.
