Summary[edit]

Description Scotney Castle, seen here through the trees, was originally a 12th century fortified manor house, founded by Lambert de Scoteni. In 1378, Roger de Ashburnham founded an irregular stone quadrangle castle, with an outer ward apparently in response to the threat of invasion by France. For 350 years Scotney Castle was the home of the Catholic Darell family. In the 1830's Edward Hussey transformed the medieval Scotney Castle from derelict dwelling to quaint ruin, thus forming the focus of his picturesque landscape garden, which he called his pleasure gardens. The property is now looked after by the <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-scotneycastlegarden/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">National Trust</a>.
