Included Highlights

Tenterden

After breakfast, we travel by coach to the Kentish Town of Tenterden. Nestled in the heart of the Weald of Kent, Tenterden is rich in history and has, by large, escaped much modern development, helping to retain its charm. From it’s broad, tree-lined High Street, you can see the distinctive tower of the 12th century Parish Church of St Mildred. During our visit to Tenterden we enjoy a return journey on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. Relax in your carriage, as your train journey meanders through the beautiful wintery Wealden countryside. The journey will take you to Northiam, where the steam engine will take water before winding back to Tenterden.

We return to the hotel this afternoon with time to relax and get ready for the New Years Eve celebrations. In the evening, enjoy a glass of bubbly on arrival followed by a 5-course meal. After dinner, there will be disco and dancing until late, with another glass of bubbly at midnight to welcome in the New Year.

Happy New Year! We start the day with a leisurely breakfast and a relaxed morning in the hotel. Later, we board our coach and travel to Hever Castle for an afternoon visit. Hever Castle is a romantic 13th century moated castle and childhood home of Anne Boleyn. In 1903, it was bought by William Waldorf Astor who went on to restore and extend the castle and create the beautiful gardens. The castle was then filled with wonderful paintings, tapestries and furniture which are on display. The vast gardens are beautifully designed, with one of the most magnificent being the Italian garden, with its lovely sculptures and lake. Take a stroll through the Tudor Garden or make your way along Anne Boleyn’s walk. During the festive period, Hever Castle is adorned with trees and lights inside and out, and you will see the beautiful traditionally decorated rooms with twinkling trees and welcome log fires. After plenty of time to explore the Castle and grounds, we head back to the hotel for our evening meal.
