Chartwell was the number one surprise on our Southern England itinerary. I didn’t go in with high expectations and I absolutely fell in love. Chartwell is a relatively small National Trust property, but it is absolutely picture-perfect from every angle. The gardens come together beautifully, the colors and flowers match each other so well. I have seldom seen such a well designed garden. Who knew that Winston Churchill would provide so much garden and design inspiration?

During our July England trip we had the perfect summer itinerary in the South of England: visiting Rye and the two gorgeous gardens of Pashley Manor and Bateman’s. I absolutely loved having Rye as our base to explore the surrounding villages and gardens. In this blogpost I will tell you all about our experience!

One of the reasons that I chose the South of England as my July trip, was that I really wanted to visit Hever Castle. I had seen pictures of walled rose gardens and an ivy-overgrown castle that really sparked my interest. Hever Castle is a very popular and kid-friendly spot. In this blogpost I will give my honest opinion about Hever Castle so you can decide for yourself whether you would want to visit.
