#### Explore this 14th-century Elizabethan manor with its long history, walled gardens, children’s playgrounds and scenic picnic areas.

The former home of a famous poet, Penshurst Place is now open to tourists as an extraordinary example of medieval architecture. This 14th-century house has remained in good condition and its rooms are filled with tapestries, paintings and period furniture from throughout its 600-year history.

The manor is the ancestral home of the aristocratic Sidney family. The famous Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney was born in this house.

Spend an afternoon strolling around 11 acres (4.5 hectares) of picturesque gardens. The grounds follow the original design, with walls and hedges surrounding the manor house. Admire the different walled gardens, each with their own theme or color. Come in the autumn months to take photos of the changing leaves. See the 328-foot (100-meter) long Peony Border in bloom in the summer months.

Discover the history of the manor through storytelling and children’s activities. Visit the house to explore its artwork, embroideries and antiques. Imagine how the aristocratic family functioned from day-to-day as you tour the many rooms. Kids can feed chickens and have fun in the adventure playground.

Enjoy refreshments at one of the on-site cafés or bring your own food to make the most of picnic areas around the grounds.

Penshurst Place is located 6 miles (10 kilometers) southwest of Tonbridge. It is easily accessible by car via the iconic M25 motorway that surrounds London and is 24 miles (38 kilometers) from Gatwick Airport. Take a bus to Penshurst Village and walk to the site’s main entrance. The nearest train station, Penshurst, is a 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) walk from the historic house. Trains are less frequent than buses.

Opening times vary throughout the year. There is an entrance fee, which also varies depending on age, group size and how much of the site you desire to see. Check the Penshurst Place website for opening hours and ticket prices.

I booked this last minute when another hotel booking fell through. All I knew was that I liked the area it was in and needed a place to sleep but I was so pleasantly surprised by how nice and cute it was. Highly recommend for solo travelers!
