Less than an hour’s drive from Gatwick and an easy Eurostar stop on the way to or from Paris, this picturesque region is filled with an interesting collection of historic treasures that are intricately tied to some of the most intriguing political, historical, literary and horticultural figures in English history. These include Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn; Penshurst Place, a medieval masterpiece surrounded by historic Elizabethan gardens; Chartwell, the beloved home of Sir Winston Churchill; Bateman’s, Rudyard Kipling’s historic 17th century manor for more than 30 years; Leeds Castle, a royal residence for more than 300 years; and Sissinghurst, Vita Sackville-West’s masterpiece in garden design, to name just a few. This issue of The European Traveller highlights the best picks for the finest country house hotels; the most historic pubs with the best atmosphere and food; and the medieval castles, historic houses and magnificent gardens that should definitely not be missed. The issue also includes important details regarding the Eurotunnel, Eurostar, National Trust and prestigious Glynedebourne festival.
