A CASTLE FOR ALL SEASONS AND ONE OF THE MOST ROMANTIC AND HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN THE LAND
Listed in the Domesday Book, this castle has been a Norman stronghold, a royal residence for six of England’s medieval queens, a palace of Henry VIII, and a retreat for the powerful and influential. Leeds Castle is about 20 mins drive down the M20.
The famous grand prix motor circuit is only a few
minutes drive and whether
you're interested in visiting one of the many race events or perhaps taking part
in a track day the tranquillity
of West Malling is an ideal place to return to
afterwards.
Canterbury
Cathedral has a tradition of visitor welcome that reaches back to the days of
medieval pilgrimages. This is not only fully maintained today, but has been
developed to meet the needs of modern tourists.
Without
the Royal Dockyard at Chatham the history of Britain could have been very
different. It was Chatham that prepared the ships of the Elizabethan Navy for
battle against the Spanish and Chatham that built one of the most famous
fighting ships in the world, HMS Victory, which became Nelson’s flagship at
the Battle of Trafalgar.

Hever Castle
Be inspired to come and visit this thirteenth century
romantic castle - once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. Set in magnificent
gardens from the majestic formal Italian Garden and topiary, to the informal
meanderings of the lakeside and Sunday Walk. The Water Maze on Sixteen Acre
Island and the Yew Maze challenges both adults and children alike!

day to remember.
