Dating from the reign of Henry VIII, it remains one of the last surviving Tudor deer parks in the UK. With herds of fallow and sika deer roaming freely, it offers a magical glimpse into a medieval landscape. It was here that the Beatles filmed promotional videos for Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever — later recognised by MoMA in New York as two of the most influential music videos of the 1960s. At the heart of the park stands **Knole House**, an immense stately home built in 1486, remarkably preserved with its **365 rooms** and **52 staircases**. Once owned by Henry VIII, it has remained one of England’s grandest houses and provides a striking backdrop to the surrounding deer park. Our route continues through rolling Kent countryside to **Ightham Mote**, a moated medieval manor house dating back to the early 14th century. Described by historian David Starkey as “one of the most beautiful and interesting of English country houses,” its story spans medieval knights, Tudor courtiers and royal connections. We finish after a day immersed in timeless Kentish landscapes, history and heritage. 🧭 **Guide:** • Leader: [KEVIN](https://www.outdooraholics.co.uk/MeetTheOutdooraholics.pdf) • Contact (hike day only): 07918 329854 🍽️ **Food:** • Bring a packed lunch • Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional) 🎒**What to Bring** • Hiking boots/shoes • Water (2 litres minimum) • Packed lunch • Waterproofs (jacket and trousers) • Hat and gloves if cold • Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point ⚠️ **Safety** Your guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider ❓ **Want to Know More?** • [New to Our Trips?](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/new_to_our_day_hikes.pdf) (perfect for first-timers, answers “what to expect”) • [About Us](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/about_us.pdf) (who Outdooraholics are, credibility, history) • [FAQs](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf) (covers common queries) 📲 **Explore More &** **Stay Connected** [Day hikes list](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/hikesbygrade.pdf) 👣 [Calendar - All trips](https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/calendar/) 📖 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/outdooraholics/) 📸 [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Outdooraholics) & [Photos group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Outdooraholics) 📄 **Terms and Conditions** By signing up or attending you agree to our [Terms and Conditions](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/TermsConditionsOutdooraholicsHikingUK.pdf) © Outdooraholics Hiking UK Ltd 2026 E & OE

Нас ждут незабываемые путешествия в графстве Эссекс. Одно из них — посещение **[монастыря Святого Иоанна Крестителя](https://essexmonastery.com/)**, основанного архимандритом Софронием в 1959 году в Молдоне. Самые ранние упоминания о монастыре относятся к XVI веку. Историки предполагают, что раньше здесь был языческий храм. На территории Монастыря находится несколько храмов: храм в честь преподобного Силуана Афонского, домовой храм в честь святого Иоанна Предтечи, кладбищенский храм в честь Всех Святых.

На территории фермы работает магазин, чайная и музей, посетив который можно познакомиться с процессом изготовления варенья, коллекцией различных атрибутов и узнать, как на протяжении десятилетий развивалось искусство приготовления джема, варенья и мармелада. Заглянув в магазинчик, каждый сможет приобрести понравившиеся вкусности, а обед в чайной поможет по достоинству оценить местные десерты. **Colchester🏡** считается одним из древнейших поселений Великобритании. **[Colchester Castle](https://colchester.cimuseums.org.uk/visit/colchester-castle/)** 🏰 — мощное крепостное сооружение, построенное норманнами.

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
