Sitting within a historic woodland pasture, once part of the Cobham Hall estate, the 18th-century Darnley Mausoleum commands stunning views across the North Kent downs. Originally designed by James Wyatt it has been beautifully restored, and recently given to the National Trust to maintain, and open to visitors.
