A Perfect Day

A perfect day in the country can be incredible for one's being, my perfect day in the country happens to be Chiddingstone in Kent.

To drive there....

• Head toward Bromley, then Hayes through to Biggin Hill (World War II Spitfires on the left) and on through to Westerham.

• At Westerham you do a quick left an right and follow the signs to 'Chartwell' (Winston's Churchill's house). All his things are as it was when he  Saved this Country in the 2nd World War.

Chartwell

• Turn left from Chartwell and follow the sign for Four Elms (this part of the journey is wonderful in early May with a sea of bluebells)

• Follow the signs to Chiddingstone

Here there is a 14th century church and pub ,the Castle Inn, that Henry 8th drank in. The food is lovely and you can eat in the beautiful Garden.

Hever Castle is nearby where you can see Anne Bolyn's bed (10 minute drive) and Penshursts Place, a 13th Century Castle (10 minute drive).

Hever Castle

On the way home you can go past a huge Lake/Reservoir with Herons and Wild Fowl.

Have a Brilliant Day!
