Kent Castles & Gardens

Kent is best known as the ‘Garden of England’, a
phrase first coined by Henry VIII. It claims to be the
oldest county in England and contains some 17000
listed buildings. Kent is most famous for its oasthouses,
having tall conical or pyramidal roofs. These
are the old kilns used for drying hops, once grown
throughout the county. Many of which have now
been converted into beautiful luxury homes. In this
‘re-vamped’ tour for 2025, we include visits to two
castles and gardens plus a short boat ride too.
