Lullingstone Roman Villa

Reviewed By 92stem - Burnham, United Kingdom

Lullingstone Roman villa is an English Heritage site, and as such is free for members, but a rather expensive £9.90 for adults with a £3.00 car park fee in Autumn 2020. The remains of the villa are housed in an enclosed building with entry through the shop/ticket office. Once inside you walk around three sides of the villa with an upstairs gallery on one side. There are plenty of information boards and exhibits on the walkways with a short video on the history of the site that plays regularly on a screen hung above the villa excavations. Not a massive site, so easily covered in an hour or so. Well worth a visit if you have English Heritage membership.

Reviewed By Lukecp76 - Maidstone, United Kingdom

I visited with a friend, and as a member of English Heritage, we were able to enjoy 2 for 1 entry, which made the already good value entrance price of £9 even better. The small team of staff made us feel very welcome, greeting us as we queued at the gate for opening, and informing us of the current covid-19 restrictions in place. We therefore admired St. Botolph;s church and the main house from afar, but cannot wait to go back to see them both when their doors reopen. The house, gatehouse, and church are all visual treats just in exterior form in any case. The Georgian-esque manor front hides a back of turrets, towers, wings, and more behind. The church is stunning, and the gatehouse entrance is easily the standout feature of the amazing architecture on show. We enjoyed a casual walk along the main broadway, taking in the formal borders. We were inspired to think about adding mirrors to our own garden, which are used to read affect here. I also was fascinated by the small collection of carnivorous plants on show here too. The main attraction is of course the World Garden. This walled garden is split into separate continental gardens representing Africa, Madagascar, Europe, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, and of course England. We discovered too many new and wonderful plants to count, and there are even some amazing trees to admire too. In particular, we were very taken with the barb wire bush, whose incredible fragrance brought us circling back a number of times. And of course, you can't miss the highly instagrammable world signpost at the centre of the garden. Then there are the poly tunnels to top, a veritable tropical treat. In each area, there are also information posts, offering insight into some of the earliest plant collectors and botanical exhibitions. It really is a wonder to think how much has been discovered and become common place in what is really just a very short period of time. The only thing that occurred to me was that the poly tunnels would have made an amazing butterfly house too, which would have been lovely to see. We ended our visit through the very peaceful and tranquil woodland, crossing bridges that had Pooh Sticks potential all over them, and enjoying the cascades and waterfall that fed off the incredible lake we had no idea was there. Lullingstone Castle and estate offered the chance to really enjoy a blend of formal landscaped gardens and nature, and to be outside in the fresh air whilst supporting a private estate in difficult times, and an absolute gem of Kent to boot.

Eynsford Castle

Reviewed By pickles23718 - Basildon, United Kingdom

Lovely place to sit and reflect. The ruins are amazing with notes along the way so you know what was what. Great place to relax, read, have a picnic or have fun with the family. Free to get in was lovely. I sat and watched all the dragon flies playing over the stream. Just a beautiful spot.

The Plough Inn

Reviewed By martinstoate - Tonbridge, United Kingdom

Just had an excellent lunch at The Plough Inn. I had the large duck salad that was very tasty, my wife had beef fillet salad which she really enjoyed. Service was excellent (thanks Freya) in these difficult times. Also had a very good pudding of blood orange sorbet with a cookie - fantastic. Well done.
