High Weald of Kent and Sussex Tour

A five-day tour based around the Kent and Sussex Weald known for its world-famous gardens, fairy-tale moated castles and mellow country manors, the romantic moat-ringed Scotney Castle and the Sissinghurst Castle Gardens. Historic locations as Chartwell (the home of Winston Churchill) and Hever Castle, home of Anne Boleyn and later Henry’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves.

 Tour of Winston Churchill’s home Chartwell  a  guided tour of Hever Castle with access to the Gardens  and on the last day a visit Balfour Winery is one of England’s leading wine producers for a self-tutored tasting and the option to have a light lunch and a drink in their restaurant. Options on our routes to Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest, Bewl Water Reservoir, Penshurst Place, Salomons Estate, NT Chiddingstone Village, Tunbridge Wells Pantiles, Kew Gardens at Wakefield Place, Scotney Castle and Sissinghurst Gardens. Walking options available at some of the locations.

We have planned three optional runs that are the most scenic (but not necessarily the most direct). The first to Chartwell House and then onto Wakefield Place, the second to Hever Castle then onto Scotney Castle and Gardens and nearby Bedgebury Pinetum and the last run is to Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens plus Balfour Winery all via scenic Kentish hop villages.

The Spa Hotel is within walking distance from the Pantiles, an indoor swimming pool, whilst taking advantage of easy access to historic Tunbridge Wells and the Kent countryside.
