Leeds castle

 Leeds Castle 

       Date: March | Location: Maidstone  | Open to the public.

I really enjoyed my visit to Leeds Castle. I received a slight discount when we bought our tickets online, and the great thing is that the tickets are valid for the whole year. The castle itself was a bit of a trek, but the gardens surrounding it are very beautiful. Overall, my experience of visiting the castle was a positive one.

St Mary's church - Teynham

 St Mary's church 

Date January | Location Teynham, Kent | Open to the public

We had tried to visit this church a few times, but it was always closed. I later found out that it is open on Saturdays, so we added it to our list of places to explore for the day. This church is a bit out of the way, but it is quite interesting inside. The layout and appearance are similar to most churches from this time period, yet each church has its own unique characteristics that set it apart from the others.

Like many churches, St Mary's is a Grade I listed building. It originated as a Saxon church before being rebuilt between the 13th and 15th centuries. It also served as a medieval archbishopric for Canterbury.

Eden Valley Museum - Kent

 Eden Valley Museum

Date : Feb | location  Edenbridge | Open to publc 

We visited Edenbridge to check off this location for the Wheels of Time trial. The museum is small, but it is quite interesting. I have to say that seeing items I grew up with in the museum, like flip phones, floppy disks, and memory sticks, was very nostalgic.

St Peter and St Paul's Church, Edenbridge

 
St Peter and St Paul's Church

Date Feb | Location Edenbridge | Open to the public 

We headed to Edenbridge to visit the Eden Valley Museum as part of the Wheels of Time trail. After we finished exploring that location, I noticed a church nearby, so I decided to check it out. Like most churches, they are similar inside, but each one has its own unique qualities. We spent about 15 minutes in the church before heading home. The church itself was really interesting.

The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade I listed building.
