LULLINGSTONE CASTLE & GARDEN VISIT

World Garden at Lullingstone Castle, Eynesford, Kent DA4 0JA (map)
With a tour of the house, a tour of the World Garden and a talk,
by
Tom Hart-Dyke
The present Manor House & Gatehouse which overlook a stunning 15 acre lake were built in 1497 and have been home to the same family ever since. Lullingstone Castle is one of England’s oldest family estates, dating back to the time of Domesday.
The World Garden combines plant heritage with cutting-edge horticulture. Mid-way through a plant hunting expedition Tom Hart-Dyke was held captive by guerilla fighters and told he had just hours to live. He says that he planned his dream garden while being held captive by them.
