Ightham Mote is a magnificent very early fortified manor house build only a few years after Bodiam Castle which can also be seen in my series of films.
The manor house is built around a moat and boasts very attractive gardens.
It survived destruction during the Civil War because the parliamentarian troops could not find it and this is not a surprise because it is no so easy for today's motorist to find either.
The family who owned it could not afford the upkeep and donated it to the National Trust.

I have a wide range of interests and I think that this is reflected in the films which can be seen here.
