For awhile, I'd thought that Washington D.C's free museums (which would take a fortnight to engage) was the singular behemoth and clearly most profound source of vast cultural, artistic and informational largesse to be found anywhere in the world. Now I feel otherwise. There's nothing akin to the National Trust, and combining it with English Heritage (they do share eight sites), one can spend a lifetime intimately and joyously engaged in its wonders. Taking Scotney Castle and its gardens as a magnificent - if somewhat less familiar - example of its splendid offerings- is like being a child at the shore digging in his or her toes for a wondrous moment. All extraneous motion ceases in yet another examination of a unique brightly colored and fantastically shaped shell ambling about on a remote perfectly pristine Carribean or South seas beach. There's simply no pail big enough to hold one example of each kind of miracle, no legs or life long enough to engage al the options. Scotney stretches our credulity in terms of the notion of Castle, though the inclusion of a mote easily complicates the issue. Is it not more an estate beyond certain aspects of historical choice and exterior trappings? It seems far too warm and cozy to be completely comfortable as either in any case. And then there's the garden. What a wonderful competitive counterpoint or complement. Take your pick. The price of admission is worth either context in itself. In our last two lengthy UK trips alone, totaling almost four months, we've saved almost $5000 on an investment of $500 with annual memberships to both the National Trust and English Heritage. If I could bring home but a few simple treasures to savor at home in New York, they'd include a great scone or two, some wondrous clotted cream and jam to go along and all the inclusions of those two amazing organizations: The National Trust and English Heritage.

Amazing place to visit . So atmospheric. One of the best preserved abbeys in the South East rivalling Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. I purchased the EH guide before visiting which helped understand the site. Such a shame there are no facilities there. Was a beautiful day and very few visitors maybe put off as the sign before the road entrance said only open Thursday to Sunday but this was a Tuesday and it was open . The EH website said open every day except Mondays so a little confusing. However the site is still well maintained. The magnificent beech tree growing up though the ruins close to the high altar needs to be seen to be believed and well deserved to be nominated for the Woodlands Trust tree of the year 2020. A great place for a picnic.
