Description of this Tour.
This Tour
provides information on a visit to Tenterden and Bodiam Castle.
As an alternative to driving from
Tenterden to National Trust Bodiam Castle, why not take a Steam Train return
ride on the Kent and East Sussex Railway
and leave your car at Tenterden Railway Station. We have negotiated 20% reduction on the Kent & East Sussex Rail
Fair on production of your Club Membership Card at the Kiosk. If you
are National Trust Members, then Bodiam
Castle will also be free
entry too.
Please make
your own way to Tenterden to start your day out. Don’t forget to allow time to return to your
chosen overnight accommodation and the Coach Pick up times to return to the Hop
Farm in time for the Rally Dinner, which starts at 1830hrs at the Dray Ballroom,
in the Hop Farm complex.
The Rally
Organising Team look forward to welcoming you to our Spring Rally and hope you
enjoy your day out in the Garden of England, exploring this scenic and
delightful area in the South East Region.
