Ightham Mote


Ightham Mote - (pronounced 'i-tem')  "Dating back to approximately 1320, Ightham Mote is a medieval moated manor house close to the village of Ightham, near Sevenoaks in Kent."




This is one place that was quite unexpected.

We could not see the house until we started walking down the path, revealing itself bit by bit through the trees, which we found out later, was the intention of the original owner.

The buildings are very well preserved, the gardens extensive and...there's a Grade 1 listed dog kennel!
