BRENLEY
FARM SAMPLE THE DELIGHTS OF OUR WORKING FARM |
|
Brenley Farm has been in the Berry family and carefully managed for many generations. In the dining room we have a portrait of Lynch Bird, an ancestor who lived in the house from about 1820. We also have a sampler done by his daughter Matilda aged 10, created in 1836. Many of the buildings around the house and farm are Listed Grade II and of architectural and historical interest. This includes the walls around the house and vegetable garden; a mediaeval thatched granary and tithe barn and the fine Georgian stable building. |

Walking and/or cycling are good exercise, good for the soul and they are free. The hops and fruit are now safely gathered in and the leaves beginning to change to the rich reds and golds of autumn – my favourite time of the year; with cool, crisp mornings mellowing into muted colours, scuffling leaves and lots of interesting fungi in the woods. Wherever you go you will find some excellent village pubs, often tucked away and serving good local produce - what better way to spend a short break. Here at Brenley and around Faversham we have all of the above and lots more. See the migrating and winter visitors on the marshes with the birds, barges and big skies walk ending in some good food at the Three Mariners at Oare. Investigate ancient villages on the old roman roads and pilgrim’s trails - Watling Street, the main road from London to Dover runs through the villages of Ospringe, Faversham and Boughton; the Saxon shoreway takes in the whole of the Kent coastline from London right around to Rye. Walking or cycling takes in the wild splendour of the rolling Kent Downs with its spectacular views. |
The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has recently been awarded Runner Up in the Best Destination category for the Responsible Travel Awards 2009. Second only To Cape Town, so what better reason to come and visit; see why the Kent Downs are so highly regarded world wide. |
