Literary Kent and Sussex
A great day out from London - Try something a Brit Different!
What a wealth of literary history in the counties of Kent and Sussex! We visit as many sites as possible on our Literary Kent and Sussex tour but for a hard core specialty interest in a specific author or for those who don’t have the time for a 3 day tour, here is your solution!
We will design a tour appropriate for your particular interests and for the time/distance possible for a day trip from London.
Literary sites in Kent and Sussex include: Ashdown Forest and the world of AA Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, Knole House (Virginia Woolf’s Orlando,) the Sissinghurst of Vita Sackville-West, Rudyard Kipling’s Bateman’s, Dickens’ Rochester and Rye, Lamb House and Henry James, Winston Churchill’s Chartwell, Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes sites, Chaucer’s Canterbury...
Wednesday and Saturdays only, enjoy “Bloomsbury in Sussex” - visit Virgina Woolf’s Monk’s House, Vanessa Bell’s Charleston Farmhouse where the Woolfs, the Bells, Duncan Grant, Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey, T S Eliot and E M Forster among others enjoyed their weekends, and the magical Berwick Church and its murals painted by friends from Charleston Farmhouse. Read more about this unique corner of countryside on: http://www.bloomsburyinsussex.org.uk/index.htm
This tour is not run as a scheduled departure; the tour will be just yourselves with your own, private driver/guide.
We would pick you up from your Central London hotel at 8.30 and return you there at approximately 6PM. Entrances to any attractions and lunch is at your own expense but we will of course assist with a great place for you to eat!
Tour Dates: Your choice! Any day of the week.
Cost: Dependent upon how many guests in your party.
