Anyone in the area of Kent must surely take some time out of their day to visit the quaint town of Westerham, in which history and charm are always vibrant.
The town was home to two key historical figures, by the names of Winston Churchill and General James Wolfe.
Winston Churchill surely goes without an introduction, but he was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during some particularly challenging years, 1941 to 1945, the Second World War.
General James Wolfe was a British Army Officer, remembered as one of the most important military figures in British history. This is because he led his army to victory over the French at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in Quebec, 1759.
Both of their homes are open to the public, since they belong to the National Trust, a conservation charity which looks after historic buildings and gardens all over the continent.
You will definitely discover inspiration in every corner of these houses!
Once done with those history lessons, the town itself is a splendid place. From craft stores and antique shops to cafes and pubs, you will find something that interests you and aligns with your idea of the perfect day out.
Or, you may choose to go on a stroll, which is equally as nice due to the beautiful skyline and picturesque cottages.
