Country house, romantic garden, 14th century moated castle - all in a beautiful wooded estate
We're joining in the fun of World Book Day weekend at Scotney Castle in March. Dress up, take part in the trail, come join in the fun and exchange your token here.
Relax in our picturesque garden with the glorious backdrop of our fairytale castle. Venture into the wonderful woodland and parkland with over 770 acres to explore. Discover the delights of our Victorian country mansion with its secrets and stories.
Enjoy a delicious meal in our tea-room or bring your own food along to eat in our newly created woodland picnic area. Your day would not be complete without a visit to our shop, where you will find tasty local produce including bitter made from hops grown at Little Scotney Farm.
The estate is open all year, offering a variety of walks through our beautiful parkland, woodland and hop farm. Children can enjoy our natural play area in the garden and wilderness camp on the estate.
