Great Comp is a seven-acre garden near Sevenoaks packed with rare and unusual plants that keep the borders interesting from spring to autumn. Paths wind past an Italian Garden, mock ruins and woodland walks, and the Old Dairy Tearooms and Dyson's Salvias nursery are on site. The season ends on 31 October, so autumn colour is the last chance this year.

The surviving private rooms of a knight's house from about 1290, one of the rarest pieces of medieval domestic building in Kent. You can see the solar, a barrel-vaulted undercroft, a small chapel and a garderobe, with a later red-brick farmhouse standing where the great hall was. It is unstaffed and free, so it makes an easy stop on a walk from Ightham Mote.
