    Lovely pics, Woo. I adore Ightham Mote. It's not so big and imposing that you couldn't imagine living there (in my dreams!!!).

    Hint - there is a beautiful mulberry tree in the garden. No one harvests the fruit and most visitors have no idea that the berries are edible. I have been known to sit on the nearby seat and eat a few. ( I hope that doesn't make me one of those nasty NT criminals we all tut-tutted about in another thread.)
