Description

Explore our fascinating collection of period homes and historic buildings and meet the colourful characters that lived and worked here. Stroll through our beautiful gardens; discover what herbs you would find in a traditional farm kitchen garden, explore the last hand picked hop garden in the country, and see the last coal fired oast house in Britain.

There’s so much for children to do – burn off energy in the indoor soft play, outdoor adventure playground or motorised quad bikes. Be creative in the paint-a-pot studio and meet the animals in the farmyard.

Refresh the senses and relax in the refurbished Dotty’s Tea Room – treat yourself to a homemade cake amidst the wonderful 1950s themed surroundings.

We look forward to sharing our slice of Kent with you.
