What You Will Do

A great day to enjoy both the personal and the historical. Chartwell offers an imitate view of the Churchill's home life and it a wonderful place to simply spend time. Lunch at an English Country pub, beloved by those brave young men who saved the country from the Luftwaffe, and then a visit to either the Heritage Hanger, where we get up close to that wonderful aircraft the Spitfire .... Or; across the field at the Biggin Hill Memorial Museum, where we can discover the lives of those who kept this famous fighter station ticking over despite constant Nazi attacks through the summer of 1940. Opening times for the Heritage Hanger vary and numbers may be limited so we will have to liaze on dates.

Itinerary

Meeting Point

1

Chartwell

3 hours

Visit the long time home of the Churchill family. Chartwell was Winston Churchill's refuge from the vagaries of public life yet it was pivotal in history, as this was where he gathered support behind the scenes for the rearmament of Britain between the wars. It was also where he and Clemmie, his lifetime companion, bought up their four children and he wrote the majority of his books, in the study upstairs. Set deep in the weald of Kent, the 'Garden of England, the grounds show the couple's abiding love of horticulture and Winston's tenacious nature in establishing lakes and a swimming pond against all the efforts of nature to prevent him. Visit Marycot, the tiny play house he built his youngest daughter, laying the bricks with his own hands. See his studio with all his paintings hung to enjoy and a talk on Churchill and his art. Not only a historical must-see but a beautiful place to spend some time.
