to the Kent Farm Holiday Group
| | | | Kent
is rich in castles and garden, handed down from many generations of loving owners. | | | | |
Aptly named ‘The Garden of England’ Kent is renowned for the diversity of its agricultural and horticultural production, but also for the many beautiful gardens within the county, both private and National Trust.
The National Gardens Scheme www.ngs.org.uk has members right across Kent and publishes an annual directory (50p in 2007). There are set open days for the many gardens which can be visited and the choice is wide and varied.

There are some really stunning castles in Kent, and all are well worth a visit.

And you can also venture across to Bodium Castle with it’s amazing moat. |
