This was another National Trust property we had wanted to visit for many years and at last we were able to do so.it did not disappoint, in fact it exceeded our expectations. In a sheltered valley location the half timbered and moated house has been subject to a £10 million restoration and it is in a perfect state for future generations. A great part of the house is open and pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable volunteers are available in most rooms to inform visitors and answer questions. A beautiful and historic house which is well worth visiting.

One of the hidden gems of Kent, never too busy but breathtaking in its beauty from the gardens to the modern sculptures, the children love exploring and has the major attraction of an adventure play area and a cafe serving wonderful beverages and fresh made cakes. High recommended.

First visit to this wildfowl reserve on a bright winters day . Lots to see and a lovely place being reclaimed by nature. Easy to follow signposted trails good for kids , aslong as they are quiet in the bird spotting hides. Circle walk not yet ready but will be a bonus when it's finished . Visitors centre is excellent . Carpark needs potholes sorting out . Great for all seasons visits saw lots of wild birds

The Stag, named after the Sevenoaks Theatre Action Group, was going to be closed knocked down and turned into something ghastly, but step in Sevenoaks types and now its a fabulous not-for-profit, theatre and cinema. It shows the same films as everywhere else, you book seats, you are not robbed on the sweets or ticket prices and its actually a great place. We go.... almost every time there's a new movie and love it.
