Very beautiful moat house set in beautiful gardens. Great for kids to have a run around in. The house has been left as it was when the last owner lived there. Slightly spooky, but all the more fun for it. As with most National Trust places it has some holiday cottages which look lovely. Gorgeous kitchen garden also to look... More

Just 50 miles from home but a whole different world - can't believe that it's taken me over 50 years to look around this place, but now that we've joined the National Trust these kind of days out have become more common plac for us. Being virtually "on the doorstep" I'm fairly certain that we'll go back again and again,... More

Igtham Mote is a small but lovely National Trust property. We were there on Easter Sunday and a quiz had been organised for the children, they were given clues and had to find the answers inside the house. This was a great idea and made the children interested in the house, they also loved receiving an easter egg at the... More

Our family had just a few hours to see this site and it was one we will go back to. The building really compresses time from medieval through to 20th century, with royal connections, an American millionaire, and some antique religious practices thrown in too. The site was featured on Time Team but I haven't seen it so I can't... More

We had seen the Time Team programme about the restoration of Ighjtham Mote, so had to include it in our list of 'must-see' places in Kent, and we were not disappointed. It helped that it was a warm, sunny day when we visited, but I'm sure that this little gem would look great even in the depths of a wet... More
