Scotney Castle

The National Trust have some magnificent properties, castles, houses and gardens. Scotney Castle is one which we had been to before, but went again with Alan and Elaine.

There are 770 acres of countryside to explore with hidden woodlands, open parklands and 4 walking trails.

There's a tea room, of course, can't go too long without a cup of tea, and the compulsory gift shop.
But at the heart of the garden is a romantic ruined castle where sweet scented creepers grow over old stonework.
