If Kent is the most successful hop farming area in the UK, then East Peckham is undoubtedly the epicentre. Something that you will certainly experience on your travels to this beautiful area. Fancy a fun filled family day out back in time? Savour Kent’s iconic and most historic landmark; The Hop Farm, which was a major supplier of hops to London breweries in the 19th and 20th centuries and features the world’s largest collection of Victorian oast houses. But it’s not just beer you will learn about on your travels. You can also let your children play in the outdoor adventure area, watch live magic shows or get close to a variety of cuddly creatures at the animal farm. And don’t worry if they’ve still got some energy left over…as back home in the holiday cottage, you can watch them run round freely among the tall trees in your lush, green garden whilst you sit back and relax on the comfy outdoor furniture with a chilled glass of sparkling wine in hand or a savoury treat that’s been cooked up in your self-catered kitchen.
