Stopped off briefly in Tunbridge Wells en route, and I was very disappointed to find the Chalybeate spring closed.

13:27:01
There it is.

Pleasant Sandwich Bar.

13:38:38
Something about this made me laugh...

13:38:55
....plus the rival sign nearby.

The "new" (1837) house at Scotney Castle.

Inside the house.

14:40:07
The drinks table caught my eye.

14:41:55
....particularly the incongruous Tennent's underneath.

Now in the gardens. It was very cold!

15:19:49
First glimpse of the old castle.

15:20:28
...and the reflections in the moat.

15:21:20
Bluebells!

15:23:03
Looks very ruined from this side.

15:24:23

15:24:32

15:25:05
....this bit is less ruined.

A much needed hot cup of tea in the tearoom.

16:55:46
I thought I could crop this and pretend we'd been there in nicer weather.

17:08:33
Inside the Brown Trout. No prizes for guessing where we chose to sit.

17:28:22
Very big sign!
