Here are some pictures I, and my partner, have taken of some of the beautiful sites you can see here in the South East. Come and discover...

Penshurst Place - home of Viscount D'Lisle. Visited by King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and many other monarchs, all who fell in love with this stunning property. Previously the home of the famous 16th Century courtier, soldier and poet, Sir Philip Sidney. The Great Hall dates to 1341.

Bayham Abbey - English Heritage owned ruin of c.1207 Premonstratensian Monastery. On Kent/Sussex border. The ruins sit in grounds landscaped by Humphrey Repton.

Igtham Mote - Hidden away in the depths of the Kentish countryside is this rare 14thC moated manor house. Now a National Trust owned property it is a fabulous example of 5 Centuries of architectural history. Lovely gardens to relax in and have a picnic on a summers day.

| Scotney Castle |
Scotney Castle - Another National Trust property - actually 2 properties - a 19th Century house and 14th Century ruins of a medieval castle and moat. Open all year round, with wonderful displays in May/June of rhodedendrons and azaleas.
