Castles and villages in Kent

Great houses and castles

For centuries the great and the good have made Kent their home. They have left a rich heritage of great houses and castles, many of which are open to visitors. Join in a medieval re-anactment in Dover or Deal castles. Be serenaded by an orchestra beneath the stars in the grounds of fairytale Leeds Castle. Discover the childhood haunts of Anna Boleyn at Hever Castle and the treasures of magnificent Knole and Chartwell, Winston Churchill's much loved home.

Smalhythe Place

In contrast to all this grandeur, visit the actress Dame Ellen Terry's Quaint half-timbered home at Smalhythe Place near Tenderden and hunt for ghost in charming Pluckley, England's most haunted village.
