oast houses and vineyards......

..... viewed from the top of a tower at Bodiam Castle


"An oast, oast house or hop kiln is a building designed for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process. They can be found in most hop-growing (and former hop-growing) areas and are often good examples of vernacular architecture. Many redundant oasts have been converted into houses."

Oast houses are such beautiful buildings, I can see why they have been converted into houses. I would love to live in one. Such character.
