I recently had the pleasure of visiting Castle Farm in Kent. This beautiful family run farm is the largest lavender farm in the UK & located only 20 miles from the centre of London!
On top of that they are busy with crops of wheat, barley, rapeseed, hops, apples and cattle too.
In this film I aim to capture the beauty of this gorgeous farm & the joy of all who visit it. Castle Farm is run by the Alexander family who are fourth generation farmers and their amazing team of staff. I hope you all enjoy this film as much as I enjoyed making it.
If you are in the UK it is well worth a visit!

Hop Stringing in Rural Kent, UK
April, on a hop garden in rural kent, UK. Before the hops (which are used in beer making) start to grow, the strings they climb have to be replaced. billprickett.co.uk
Time Out Walks, Book 1, Walk 23, Otford to Eynsford. 13/1/13.
This is another shortish walk of 8.8 miles in the county of Kent.
Setting out on a bright day, with a bitter wind, the walker is soon leaving the station behind and passing 'Uranus', one of Otford's Solar System miniatures. Thereafter, it's across fields and along lanes for some fine views from Meenfield Wood. Then, there's a gentle descent into the pretty village of Shoreham where lunch can be had at any one of three hostelries, or, in this case, in the porch of the fine village church.
Reinvigorated, the walker continues along the Darent Valley Path to then join The Millennium Footpath for a section of uphill walking. As usual from heights, the views offer great recompense.There's then some woodland walking before coming out onto a golf course, with some fine views, and then reaching Lullingstone Park, with its Visitor Centre and Castle.
Thereafter, it's on past Lullingstone Roman Villa, and under an impressive Victorian rail viaduct before an optional detour to another castle ruin at Eynsford (not taken today). Eynsford rail station follows shortly after.
Another impressive shorter walk that is just over half an hour from Central London.
(First Snowdrops of the season seen today outside the church wall of St Bartholomew's, and what appeared to be ludicrously early Primroses in Mill Lane, Shoreham, though neither filmed, unfortunately).

The Hawkhurst branch line ( hop pickers line ) hawkhurst to goudhurst trackbed walk part 1
The Hawkhurst Branch Line was a short railway line in Kent that connected Hawkhurst, Cranbrook, Goudhurst and Horsmonden with the town of Paddock Wood and the South Eastern and Medway Valley lines, a distance of 11 miles 24 chains (18.19 km).
The line was promoted by the Cranbrook and Paddock Wood Railway (C&PWR), which was incorporated in 1877, but took until 1892 to open the first section of the line to Hope Mill. Services were worked by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR). The line was extended to Hawkhurst in 1893. In 1900, the SECR absorbed the C&PWR. Sunday services ceased in 1917. In 1923, the SECR was absorbed into the Southern Railway at the Grouping. The line became part of British Railways at Nationalisation on 1 January 1948. The line was closed in June 1961, before the Beeching Report was published.
The construction between 1842 and 1853 of the Ashford to Hastings Line, the Tonbridge to Hastings line and South Eastern Main Line between Redhill and Folkestone left a triangle of land within the Kentish High Weald devoid of rail communication.[1] It was a heavily wooded and agricultural area which comprised many small villages and hamlets. The three largest settlements in this area were Cranbrook; the former heart of the defunct Wealden cloth industry, Hawkhurst and Tenterden. There were no large landowners or wealthy industrialists to promote a branch line,[2] while the local railway company - the South Eastern Railway (SER) - preferred to wait until local enterprise had funded the route's construction.[3]
A variety of abortive schemes were proposed, including an 1864 proposal by the nominally independent Weald of Kent Railway to run a route from Paddock Wood to Hythe via Cranbrook for which the SER obtained parliamentary authorisation as a defensive measure against a similar scheme proposed by the rival London, Chatham and Dover Railway. The SER's enthusiasm for the scheme waned after the financial collapse of its rival in the wake of the 1866 Overend Gurney crisis.[4] It was left to another independent company, the locally promoted Cranbrook and Paddock Wood Railway, to revive the scheme in 1877 and pursue it for a further 15 years before its opening in October 1892.[5] The company was incorporated on 2 August 1877.[6]
Construction
The Cranbrook and Paddock Wood Railway obtained authorisation for a single track line to link the two towns from which the company took its name. Agreement had been reached with the SER that it would provide £50,000[Note 1] towards construction costs once the local company had raised £25,000[Note 2] in the district.[7] The necessary funds could not be raised and by April 1878 only £11,000[Note 3] had been found and, on the suggestion of the SER, it was decided to save costs by locating Cranbrook station in Hartley, 2 miles (3.2 km) from Cranbrook's centre, where land prices were higher.[3] Preliminary construction works were commenced in 1879 but soon ground to a halt due to a lack of funds. Undissuaded, the railway company obtained two further Acts of Parliament in 1882 and 1892 which authorised a cut-price route between Goudhurst and Hawkhurst.
