Kent is traditionally known as the GARDEN OF ENGLAND, but the term could just as easily apply to Sussex and Surrey. In addition to commonly thought of hopgardens, orchards and vineyards the region boasts some of the country's greatest gardens, such as Sissinghurst, Nymans, Sheffield Park and Wisley. Also found here, within easy reach of London and the coast, are romantic ruins like Bodiam and Scotney, great cathedral cities like Canterbury and Chichester, magnificent castles like Hever, Leeds and Arundel, princely residences like the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and historic houses like Chartwell and Bateman's - all set in England's most bountiful countryside.

Review:
Centring on what is known as the "Garden of England", the county of Kent, author Robin Whiteman and renowned photographer Rob Talbot travel the country lanes in search of what the term actually means. Also encompassing the counties of Surrey and Sussex, they discover the wonders of the natural countryside, the Downs, forests and coastlines that make up these areas, the first part of the country to be seen by many visitors coming across the Channel by ferry or Eurotunnel. Revealing hidden gems of manicured gardens such as Wakehurst, Sissinghurst and Cowdray they also reveal lesser-known, private gardens such as Dixter, West Dean and the Royal Horticultural Societys' showpiece at Wisley. Photographed alongside are the country villages and towns, attractive churches, houses and cottages all captured in beautiful colour by Rob Talbot, giving the reader a clear picture of why and what the "Garden of England" really is. Part of the "Country Series", this is a collectable book for all those interested in our natural heritage. - Lucy Watson
Book Description:
