Chartwell House, gardens, shop, cafe, toilets and car park have now reopened. Tickets for entry to the Car Park and gardens must be pre-booked via the National Trust Chartwell web-site. For entry to the House upgrade your ticket on arrival. The House tickets are limited in order to allow for social distancing.
Visited Chartwell on the hoof when dropping my car in to a local car roof repairer. £15.50 per adult without gift aid. £4 all-day parking. You are given a slot to visit the house to keep crowds moving. However very few other visitors at this time of year when the kids are about to return to school to avoid the anticipated huge crowds the rest of the year so strongly recommend visiting end August or Sept. Beautiful property, very very cosy and intimate. You can see how Churchill would have cherished this retreat from the pressures of State. You can visit Clemmy's bedroom, the Library, Drawing and Dining rooms all very tastefully decorated, as well as Churchill's art studio and his works. Currently images and commentaries on his life in an exhibition. Cafe on site but how this would deal with massive numbers of visitors we have utterly no idea as service was unbearably slow even with virtually no one else in the queue.

Just visited the church to see the Display of Christmas Trees in the church from local shops, societies, schools that all have a connection to Westerham. Certainly puts a smile on your face with the very clever decorations and display and what a lovely church to visit.

Quebec House is closed until further notice. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Please keep checking the website and social media for any further updates.
Approaching this elegant red brick house along a busman road was a novel experience : National Trust properties I've previously visited have tended to be substantial mansions in their own extensive grounds. Once inside, however,and having been charmingly welcomed, thoughts of its size gave way to interest in General James Wolfe ( whose childhood home this was) and mounts of his life and, in particular to the battle, he'd unexpectedly won against the French at the Canadian town after whom this house has been named. Our enthusiastic tour guide, Nick, was a source of knowledge - about the different Centuries during which the hiyuse was constructed, and the minutiae of facts about the 1738 battle. Afterwards, an opportunity to sample freshly coked samples of period delicacies was a sweet treat. Altogether, well worth a visit.
Follow in the footsteps of the millions of medieval pilgrims who journeyed to Canterbury Cathedral and its shrine to the martyr St. Thomas Becket, along this 130-mile route from Winchester, the ancient capital of Wessex.
