Scotney Castle

Tuesday 12th May 2026

Discover this fairytale medieval moated castle and Victorian country mansion set within one of the UK's best examples of a Picturesque garden.

Explore the well-loved family home, stroll in the walled kitchen garden, and venture onto the 780-acre estate to enjoy open parkland and ancient woodland. In its nearly 650-year history, the old castle has had many reincarnations, with each successive owner adding their own mark.

It was first built by Roger Ashburnham in the 14th century as a fortified manor house to protect against possible French invasion. Around 200 years on, in 1580, the south Tudor wing adjoining the Ashburnham Tower was added - only to be largely destroyed 80 years later in the 1630s when the new three-storey east wing was added.
