"Spring has arrived – and the sun has melted the ice on the mill pond. Its rays reach to the bottom of the pond – and tickle awake the little water sprite, who has been hibernating with his mermaid parents. And what's the first thing a curious little water sprite does? Spring cleaning with his mother? Repairing the broken roof of the water sprite's house? Wrong! Of course, the little water sprite's first priority is to meet his old friend, Cyprinus the carp... The little water sprite isn't quite as cheeky here as in the 1955 original – but Daniel Napp's little spring story has been enchantingly illustrated. A magical, endearing, and ageless reading experience for children ages 4 and up." The Stiftung Lesen (Reading Foundation) reviews a four-volume sequel to the popular "The Little Water Sprite" by Otfried Preußler (1923 to 2013), which guides children through the seasons in this children's book series.

The Sissinghurst estate is 460 hectares of beautiful Wealden countryside, including 180 hectares of woodland. It is maintained by a team of rangers and is a fascinating place to spot native wildlife all year round. It is a delight for walkers and horse riders.

The complex is dominated by the manor house on the hill and the ruin further down in the valley. The ruin was "created" from a functioning house several hundred years old by the owners of the manor house in order to obtain a romantic view. The two buildings are embedded in a beautiful garden. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/scotney-castle

At the back exit of Bateman's and therefore worth visiting even if you are not visiting the park and the house. We walked a very long way around the grounds - the only benches were here 😳

This garden, which is not so well known internationally, gave us so much joy! Incredible flowers, and that in April. The "new" house can be visited, the old one is just a very picturesque ruin. Entry per adult £17, NT members excluded. Parking was free today, the guidebook said £4 (?) Café extremely friendly and really good cake.

You can walk here if you don't want to visit the gardens and the house, but still want to catch a glimpse. A paradise for nature lovers. Dogs are allowed here on a leash (but not in the garden) Water flows everywhere, so make sure you wear proper shoes!

You can explore the paths around the 460 acres of Sissinghurst estate. There are lakes stocked with fish, wildflower meadows and large areas of woodland. All with wonderful views of the castle and buildings. The trails are well maintained, and you can find walk suggestions at the visitor centre.
