BAYHAM OLD ABBEY

Bayham Abbey makes a fascinating day out on the Kent Sussex border.

 The impressive ruins, built from golden local sandstone, include much

 of the 13th to 15th-century church, the chapter house, and a picturesque

 14th-century gatehouse. Bayham Abbey is now set in grounds designed 

by famous landscape gardener Humphry Repton, who also planned the

 grounds of Kenwood House in London. Rooms in the 'Georgian Gothick'

 dower house are open for visitors to experience.
