St John's Jerusalem is a 13th-century chapel built by the Knights Hospitaller, set in a peaceful moated garden beside the River Darent near Dartford. Look inside the light, well-preserved chapel, then follow the garden paths and bridges with a picnic. It opens on just one afternoon a month in season, and an hour is enough.
