Groombridge Place is a beautiful country estate complete with sculpted formal gardens, a moated 17th-century manor house and over 200 acres of parkland.

The house and its bridges were designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the same architect who re-designed St Paul's Cathedral after the Great Fire of London.

Although the house is privately owned, you can visit the gardens. With a pirates playground and treetop walkway, it's also a great place for kids.

The gardens are only open during summer. You can find more information, here: groombridgeplace.com

Groombridge Place is currently closed but the walks around it are lovely. Plenty of streams and a pond with ducks and geese. There is also a train track that has old steen trains going past.
