Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a summer visit in Kentsboro, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

Details that help

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
