HALLOWEEN FEAR
AND FUN AT THE
RARE BREEDS CENTRE
BELMONT
HOUSE & GARDENS
THE BEAUTIFUL GEORGIAN HOUSE OF BELMONT, SET
AMIDST GLORIOUS PARKLAND, COMMANDS STUNNING
VIEWS OF THE ROLLING KENT COUNTRYSIDE AND IS A
COMPLETELY UNSPOILED AND DISTINCTIVE EXAMPLE OF
THE WORK OF THE ARCHITECT SAMUEL WYATT.
The gardens are full of interest throughout every season. The kitchen
garden, originally designed by Lady Arabella Lennox-Boyd, is a
wonderful mix of traditional and modern gardening: a beautiful Victorian
greenhouse, figs pleached on the walls, arbours festooned in golden
hops and an abundance of soft fruits, traditional apples and pears along
with a variety of vegetables grown for the house.
The walled garden to the rear of the stableyard is another intimate
enclosed garden with long borders of annuals and perennials. For
further information, please visit the website – www.belmont-house.org.
