Eastwell Park, English country house in Eastwell, Kent, England.
Eastwell Park is a reconstructed Gothic manor house surrounded by 650 hectares of parkland with formal gardens and ancient woodlands. The estate includes landscaped terraces and a circular pool with decorative features.
The original house was built between 1793 and 1799 and served as a residence for the Earls of Winchilsea until its demolition in 1926. The present-day structure is a reconstruction that carries forward its architectural tradition.
Sir James Thornhill decorated the main hall's ceiling with classical scenes that remain visible in the reconstructed house today. These artistic details draw from ancient mythology and shape the character of the interior spaces.
The property now operates as a hotel, so visitors can access the formal gardens and explore the cultivated grounds. Plan time to walk through the different garden areas and woodland paths at a leisurely pace.
A local legend connects the estate to Richard Plantagenet, possibly a son of King Richard III, who worked as a bricklayer during construction of an earlier house. This hidden story adds historical depth to the site.
