This ruined mediaeval castle wouldn’t look amiss in a book of Arthurian legend. But although it may appear desolate with its creeping ivy and surrounding moat, we can assure you that Scotney castle comes with all the mod-cons of a National Trust site.

Explore the structure and grounds or dip into one of the Castle’s shops. Delve into a book at their second-hand bookstore Betsy’s or take home a piece of nature with you from their plant shop.
