KENT, UK || Westerham & Chiddingstone

Today I want to do an especial post. So far, apart from gardens, I have only shown well-known cities, Manchester, Birmingham, and Worcester. It is really amazing to visit all those big cities, but it is also amazing to visit not-so known but traditional British villages. I strongly believe that the South East of England is one of the prettiest and more charming places in the UK. We saw some examples of nice places in some of my latest posts and we will see more soon. 

This is why today I'm presenting two little villages in Kent. Traditional pubs, traditinal buildings and really nice churches (and old cemeteries, my favorites!)

If you want to discover more about this two charming villages, continue reading!

KENT, UK || Emmetts Garden

Last week, I wrote about the National Trust and I shared some pictures of one of their protected places: Scotney Castle. So, today, I want you to see another place you can visit with National Trust in Kent too. This is Emmetts Garden (Ide Hill, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN14 6BA)A green paradise of flowers and colours. There are no houses no castles, just green grass, and colourful trees. A great choice if you want to spend the day taking a gentle walk through a peaceful garden.

Enjoy the walk!

KENT, UK || Scotney Castle

So far, I have just shown pictures of cities in my blog, bigger, smaller; just cities. Yes, you're right, I also dedicated a post to the green part of Britain just some days ago. However, it's time to see something I'm incredibly fond of: castles! Who doesn't like castles? Who doesn't like to feel how was like to live in a castle? Who doesn't want to spend a night in a castle? I do!

Scotney Castle is not the only castle I've visited in England in the last years, but it is the first (and not last!) that I've visited since September. The castle is located in Kent (Lamberhurst, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN3 8JN) in South-East England. It belongs to the National Trust, an organisation that aims at mantaining gardens, houses and castles throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It basically means that you pay money for visiting these places. But, seeing what I've seen so far it is worthy. If any of you have the opportunity, don't hesitate and try one of their gardens or houses, this organisation really does a good job in all their properties. 
And, you can start with Scotney castle! This place does not only have a castle, it has a Victorian country house and its romantic gardens and the castle in itself, you can visit all of them.  When I visited this place (autumn half-term) there were two exhibitions about the Great War that I will detail below. Well, and it was Halloween as you will see! 
Exhibitions or not, pumpkins or not, Scotney Castle is a place I really recomend to see in Kent. Let's enjoy its romantic castle and gardens!
