Summer 2021 National Trust... Chartwell, Ightham Mote, Emmetts Garden and Scotney Castle


Before school holidays began we tried to make the most of visiting some National Trust places to avoid the crowds, we had a couple of trips to Chartwell, a visit to Ightham Mote, a rainy day visit to Scotney Castle and a visit to the beautiful Emmetts Gardens. 

We didn't go indoors at all to avoid being in enclosed spaces with others and tried to avoid any areas that looked busy. That meant on our second visit to Chartwell (it was a weekend visit so much busier by then), we avoided the main part of the grounds altogether and went to the woodland area instead. 

Here's a photo diary as my phone was running out of space to store my pics...



Miss T at Chartwell - Summer 2021 - This time we took our wellies so we could visit the woodland areas too!

Ightham mote - what is it about kids as they grow older and not wanting to be in photos! Even with their masks on, it's clear they wouldn't smile for the camera.

They were just putting in the finishing touches to a fairy trail around the grounds when we visited.
