Eastwell Park

Eastwell Park is a large area of parkland and a country estate in the civil parish of Eastwell, adjoining Ashford, Kent, in England. It was owned by the Earls of Winchilsea for more than three centuries. Over time, successive buildings have served as homes to Sir Thomas Moyle, the Earls of Winchilse

a and Nottingham, and others. It was used as a royal residence from 1874 to 1893 for Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. The estate is now mainly a farming concern, raising crops and sheep. It has a large shallow lake that can be fished and Eastwell Towers. The largest building is Eastwell Manor, a stately home that was rebuilt on a smaller scale during the 1920s using the material from the previous larger house, it is now operated as a country house hotel. The manor and towers are Grade II listed.
