History and horticultural heritage at Hever Castle
Ashley Gibbins and Ann Mealor
Europe
Hever Castle in Kent offers a history going back 700 years along with splendid grounds and gardens and a host of special events.

Maybe not the best time to admit it but, I have not been the greatest fan of Agathia Christie. My long-held disillusionment with Agatha came from reading her Murder on the Orient Express as a young lad. I really got into the plot and spent much time attempting to deduce which, of the long list of potential suspects, carried out the dastardly murder...
