Morleys Farm

Interested in filling (at least some of) your grownup break with garden visits? Start at the gorgeous Riverhill Himalayan Gardens (two minutes’ drive) with its walled garden, woodlands and modern sculptures, then move on to Reuthe’s - The Lost Gardens of Sevenoaks (15 minutes) to admire azaleas and rhododendrons or take a walk with an alpaca. There are some equally splendid historic buildings around here too – many of them with fine outdoor spaces of their own. Knole (10 minutes) is a good option for a day out, as are Penshurst Place, Chiddingstone Castle, Chartwell and Hever Castle & Gardens (all 15 minutes). And how about that most adult of outings: a drinking-based one? Perhaps learn to create your own gin at Greensand Ridge Distillery (10 minutes) or try a tour and tasting at The Mount Vineyard (20 minutes) which also has a super restaurant and shop.
