Kent castles and gardens
Leeds, Hever, Penshurst — and Sissinghurst.
Kent is England's garden county, both metaphorically (mild climate, fertile loam) and literally (Sissinghurst is arguably the most influential 20th-century English garden). Pair with three flagship castles: Leeds (set in a moat), Hever (Anne Boleyn's childhood home), and Penshurst Place. All within an hour's drive of each other.
