No luck so far.  It's similar to Leeds Castle but not sure.

Apologies for the delay.


Stevenson Brothers workshop is a welcome journey milestone when returning to Canterbury from West Kent for me.


My next is clearly a castle gateway, but where?

If that's the case then it must be the workshop of Stevenson Brothers, Rocking Horse manufacturers at Ashford Road, Bethersden?


That's the place CAT.     51.12690079849638, 0.7550489084515422

There is a rocking horse on the roof which you see as you approach.


The 'rare' stuff clue =  As rare as rocking horse s**t.   ;D


Princess Anne paid a visit there.


Over to you CAT.

An antique shop?


Not an antique shop CAT


This place is known nationally - possibly even worldwide.  Royalty has visited on at least one occasion.

As you drive toward this place there is something quite distinctive about it.

The 'rare' comment is a bit tongue in cheek but will come clear when the place is guessed.


Not Watling street MartinR.


This 'A' road connects two coastal towns.


Not Cranbrook of Staplehurst DTT - you need to come east.

From the style of building, I would guess around Cranbrook or at a push Staplehurst, JW.

Is a "long A road" Watling Street?  If so I've a feeling there's some rare breeds or similar near the Broughton roundabout.
