Chartwell Gardens

Family home and garden of Sir Winston Churchill.

We are not allowed to film or take pictures inside the house, so this video only shows the gardens and park area.
Enjoy wide-open views across the lakes, garden and Weald of Kent, Churchill's kitchen garden and the rose walk. The gardens at Chartwell is a feast for the eyes, whatever the season.
Lakes: One of the reasons Churchill bought Chartwell was for the potential water feature he could create. The lower lake already existed when he bought the property but in 1924 a dam was built to create the upper lake. The lakes were camouflaged by brush wood to reduce the risk of bombing raids during the wars but they now offer majestic views and provide a home for wildlife.
Swimming pool: Follow the cascades down from the rock garden to find Churchill's swimming pool. In the early years, the Churchills used the lakes for swimming until the oval concrete pool was constructed in the 1930s. With his usual thoroughness, Churchill took the advice from his scientist friend, Lindemann, on the amount of water needed to fill it and from a chemist on the correct chemicals to keep it clean.
Golden orfe ponds: Churchill first encountered golden orfe in the 1930s and was so entranced by them that they were made features of the Chartwell garden. Have a look out for a small chair next to one of the ponds; Churchill could sit here for hours in silent contemplation as he feed his beloved fish.
Kitchen garden: Head to the kitchen garden to see the wall that Churchill built with his own hands. Using the old diaries of Churchill's head gardener and surviving invoices of seed purchases, the National Trust recreated something like the appearance of the productive kitchen garden as the Churchills knew it. Much of the produce grown heads over to the café to be used in delicious dishes.(From National Trust Site)
