Tips from the Community

Andrew
August 24, 2025, Gate and Panoramic View of Kent Downs

It's a footpath to Wye Crown itself, but the bridleway is just off to the right, through a gate, and loops back round to rejoin the North Downs Way a little further on, before the descent into Wye.

This is a good starting point, there is a big car park where maybe 30 cars can fit in, always spaces. Park benches and a toilet block are also in the car park. Many people use this car park to access several pubs in the small village

A manor house fortified in the 15th century after Sir Thomas Browne, the Comptroller and Treasurer to King Henry VI, was granted a licence to crenellate in 1448. There are 4 towers on the western side and between the 2 northerly towers a timber-framed house has since been built, later refaced with red brick in the 18th century. It is likely that the missing three other curtain walls also had a similar design with towers to produce a square form. On the south-west side the 15th century gatehouse built of flint with a stone arch still stands.
