Scotney Castle Gardens is situated in the Weald of Kent in South East England and has an amazing collection of azaleas. The gardens are exceptional in this National Trust property and have been allowed to grow naturally with lots of native trees and flowers. Equally picturesque are the ruins of Bayham Abbey built on the River Teise in 1208. Many abbeys were located in remote regions where monks could find privacy and seclusion but over time some became corrupt and you could buy your way into heaven. Bayham Abbey was destroyed during the Reformation. For more information check out the category, Journeys through the British Isles, episode 13.
