Anywhere else in Kent (within 10 miles of London)?
Sissinghurst Castle Garden is worth the trek if you can get the public transport lined up.

Chiddingstone Castle (which is not part of the NT).

dg writes: Added, thanks.
Squerryes Court?

dg writes: Hmmm.
And Quebec House?

dg writes: Already in the list.
What about Gravesend or is that too borderline?

Your write-up from 2013 wasn't overly enthusiastic about the place but apparently there's now an ex-nuclear bunker open to the public which might be worth visiting.

dg writes: As far as I can tell, (£5, 7.30-9pm, 3rd Friday of the month, pre-book)
Perhaps worth marking Lullingstone Villa as EH (surprisingly few of them, compared to NT, near London).
Thank you - a great idea. A few suggestions:

Otford Solar System, blogged on 10 July 2008

Otford Heritage Centre open M-F 0900-1200, SSuBH 1430-1630.

Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve & Jeffery Harrison Visitor Centre

Great Comp Garden and Old Soar Manor NT both near Borough Green (I think these are just within 10 miles of the boundary).

dg writes: Updated, thanks.
The Riverhill gardens just beyond Knole are good, but you'd need a car.

I visited the Gravesend bunker in March, its excellent.

Otford also has the ruins of a bishop's palace.

Squerres now shut.
