Known as the 'garden of England' for its landscape, Kent also has some of the most beautiful and famous gardens in the UK of which probably the most famous is Sissinghurst created by Vita Sackville-West in the 1930s. Also famous is the University which, together with the University of Greenwich, forms part of the Medway Campus.
The Garden of England is not only famous for its flower-filled meadows, the beauty and stories this land has to offer are endless; from Canterbury Cathedral, seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury no less since the 1600s, to the village of Coxheath, where once a year a pie throwing contest, 'custard pies', is held; to the US President's desk, built from 'Resolute' wood, made in Chatam in the county of Kent.
Another speciality of the house, are the numerous castles, where one cannot fail to mention Leeds Castle, certainly one of the most beautiful and evocative. Built on the banks of a lake, which enhances its charm, the castle is filled with antique furniture and paintings. Among its attractions, in addition to concerts and exhibitions organised throughout the year, there is also an intriguing labyrinth.
Fabulous landscapes, secrets and stories, a perfect mix of study and fun.
