It's hop harvesting season at Scotney Castle. There are no tours this year, but there's still an opportunity to see the hop gardens and hop pickers' huts on the Scotney estate. Download the estate map here: https://bit.ly/328LnBN and follow the yellow hop trail route. Please note there is no access to the farm at any time and keep an eye out for farm traffic and machinery on your walk. 🎥 NTI / Nina Elliot-Newman #Accessibility Video showing a tractor pulling a trailer piled high with hops. | Na
