    Hiking

    Author George Orwell, best-known for his seminal novel ‘1984’, lived in this cottage between 1936-1940. Orwell married his fiancée, Eileen, in Wallington church and friends reported the first few months of his married life here were the happiest in his life. The writer loved the countryside in this area and spent much time exploring the trails.

    Hiking

    When cycling around Wallington on the bridlepaths, somehow I heard George Orwell used Manor Farm as the archetype for Animal Farm.
