Скачать или смотреть Discovering Bishopsbourne | A Kentish Village With A Surprising Past

In this episode of my Discovering Kent’s Hidden Villages series, I explore the beautifully tucked-away village of Bishopsbourne, set in the heart of the Nailbourne Valley. With my trusty Nikon D3200 DSLR, I set out to photograph this quiet corner of South East Kent, while peeling back the historical layers beneath its peaceful surface.

📍 Along the way, I visit St Mary's Church, where Richard Hooker, a major figure in Anglican theology, once preached. I talk about its architecture, with touches by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and wander through the village’s scenic lanes where literary giants like Joseph Conrad and Jocelyn Brooke once lived.

📸 I also hunt down the site of the old Bishopsbourne railway station, once part of the Elham Valley Railway (1887–1947). Though now a private home, it still holds the charm of a time gone by. And nearby, the stately Bourne Park House holds echoes of Mozart's visit, cricketing legacies, and aristocratic architecture.

As always, my challenge is to work with a single camera and see how much variety and visual storytelling I can capture. I want to inspire others with entry-level gear to get out and explore – you don’t need the best kit to make beautiful images!
