| Nestling in a Kentish sunken valley, Ightham Mote is a rare example of a moated medieval manor house dating from 1320 with important later additions and alterations. It was the subject of the Trust's largest ever conservation project, begun in 1989 and completed in 2004 – an exhibition of which is in the visitor reception. Ightham Mote has a number of varied features to enjoy including a Great Hall, Crypt, Tudor Chapel with a hand-painted ceiling and the private apartments of the American donor Charles Henry Robinson. However, one of its most enchanting features has to be the Grade I listed dog kennel, situated in the recently recobbled picturesque courtyard. Ightham Mote also offers some lovely gardens and water features with lakeside and woodland walks for visitors to enjoy. | | | | 1 booked daily guided tour available at 10.30.
