ChartwellVisit the long time home of the Churchill family. Chartwell was Winston Churchill's refuge from the vagaries of public life yet it was pivotal in history, as this was where he gathered support behind the scenes for the rearmament of Britain between the wars. It was also where he and Clemmie, his lifetime companion, bought up their four children and he wrote the majority of his books, in the study upstairs. Set deep in the weald of Kent, the 'Garden of England, the grounds show the couple's abiding love of horticulture and Winston's tenacious nature in establishing lakes and a swimming pond against all the efforts of nature to prevent him. Visit Marycot, the tiny play house he built his youngest daughter, laying the bricks with his own hands. See his studio with all his paintings hung to enjoy and a talk on Churchill and his art. Not only a historical must-see but a beautiful place to spend some time.

The White Hart(Please ignore the address in Whitechapel above, it is the only 'White Hart' available on Viator's menu) We stop for lunch at the Spitfire Boys very own White Hart, the famous pub where, once the sun had set, the young men defending Britain from the massed fleets of the Luftwaffe would come to let of steam and perhaps raise a glass to successes in battle or fallen comrades. There are a few memorials to them still and a pleasant garden where we pause for refreshments, and perhaps even raise a glass in their memory ourselves.

Biggin Hill Memorial MuseumThis is offered as an alternative to the Heritage Hanger. The Memorial Museum covers the history of the airfield and gives a wonderful overview of not only the pilots who flew from there but all the staff who supported them in defense of their country.

Fly a Spitfire - Biggin Hill Heritage HangarNB: Opening days for the Heritage Hanger vary a good deal and tickets must be purchased separately. Please choose the date you would like and we will contact you promptly with alternatives if that date is not available A rare chance to visit the Heritage Hanger, where an amazing team of aircraft restorers and pilots put Britain's most iconic aircraft back in the sky. Guiding is by both the Hanger's experts who will tell you about the aircraft being currently restored and run there, and your guide, talking about the wider history of the Battle of Britain itself. Listen to the roar of the classic 27 litre Merlin engines as the aircraft taxi out for take off. You can even book a flight through us in one of the three twin seater Spitfires they fly from here. This is an extremely rare chance to get up close and personal with one of the few remaining, most beautiful and pivotal aircraft in history. It is a unique and unforgettable experience.
