The Seven Wonders have a host of historical places to visit and explore.

Finchcocks, a fine early Georgian manor in a beautiful unspoilt setting. Built in 1725, it is noted for its outstanding brickwork, with a dramatic front elevation attributed to Thomas Archer. In 1970 Finchcocks was acquired by Richard Burnett and now houses his magnificent collection of some one hundred historical keyboard instruments. About 40 of these are fully restored, together with a number of barrel organs, musical boxes and other mechanical instruments.

Bedgebury National Pinetum was once the pleasure gardens for what is now Bedgebury School and was developed as part of a joint venture between the Forestry Commission and Kew to save the conifers threatened by pollution in London. The manor was owned by six generations of the de Bedgebury family from Norman times to about 1450 and also passed through several owners including Viscount Lord Beresford, who bought it in 1836. His stepson, Alexander James Beresford-Hope, married Lady Mildred Gascoyne-Cecil. ‘Lady Mildred's Drive’ was planted with some of the first Lawson cypresses (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) to be brought to this country and they are still marking the drive used by Her Ladyship’s coach and horses through the forest to Bedgebury Lodge.

Lambert de Scoteni was the earliest recorded owner of Scotney Castle Estate in 1137. Roger Ashburnham was responsible for building the castle in the valley of the River Bewl c.1378-80. Like Bodiam Castle, it had round towers at each corner only one of which, the Ashburnham Tower, still remains. Parts of the Castle have been restored, including the south wing c.1580 and in 1640 a three-storey east range was constructed.

The Seven Wonders of the Weald have a wealth of history waiting to be discovered, all nestling neatly into the High Weald (AONB) countryside where they can be enjoyed by everyone.
