Penshurst Place & Gardens
An outdoor historic-house-gardens in Kent

Penshurst Place & Gardens is a stunning medieval manor house set in 11 acres of formal gardens and 2,500 acres of parkland, offering a perfect family day out in Kent.
For families with kids, highlights include:
The 'Wobbly Bridge' Adventure Playground, a large wooden play area with zip wire, swings, and climbing frames.
The beautiful garden maze and the long-established 'Lady's Garden' with its scented plants and pond.
Special seasonal events like Easter egg hunts, Halloween trails, and Christmas festivities.
The house itself is full of history, with family-friendly audio guides and interactive exhibits.
Practical tips: booking online in advance is recommended, especially during school holidays. The site has baby changing facilities, a cafe serving kids' meals, and picnic areas. Pushchair access is good but some garden paths are gravel. The adventure playground is suitable for children aged 2-12, but older kids will also enjoy the gardens and house.
