グードハーストのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

残念ながら、歩くにはあまり面白くありません。

Easy gravel trail through Bedgebury Forest, which makes for an excellent non muddy walk on a winters day

Louisa Lake is a charming spot nestled within Bedgebury Forest, often encountered on the woodland bike trails. With a peaceful bench nearby, it’s the perfect place to pause and take in the scenery.

Extensive forest and home to the National Pinetum. Many miles of great trails for family cycling and mountain biking, walking and running.

Always a lovely place to walk around, can be muddy in some spots depending on the time of the year

After the Hussey family gave up the house and the last resident of the family died, the house was initially converted into 6 apartments. Margaret Thatcher lived in one of them during her time as Prime Minister. Here she was "easier to protect" than in London. Now everything has been returned to the way it was before the conversion 😉

This Victorian mansion was built in 1837. Constructed from sandstone quarried from the grounds of the Old Castle, its privileged position offers splendid views of the castle and the estate. As a curiosity, during Margaret Thatcher's time as Prime Minister, she had an apartment in this building. Currently, it is owned by the National Trust, and you can find more information, plan your visit, and check the opening times at: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/scotney-castle
