#Downe

At Down House 🏡 One of the things that really struck me about visiting Down House is that it was first and foremost a family home. This is not a museum of Darwin's life and work, but the house where he and his 10 children played, explored, experimented, and grew. The house itself dates to about 1730, on the site of a still earlier 17th-century house. It was enlarged and remodelled several times, most notable during the Darwin family's residence. When the Darwins moved in, Down House was a simple rectangular block (Darwin called it 'ugly' in a letter to his sister), with a few acres of undeveloped grounds. One of the first things Darwin did after moving in was to have the lane outside the house diverted and lowered to create more privacy for himself and his family. The next step was to create a kitchen garden, protected by stone walls on three sides, with a hedge on the south side to let filtered sunlight in. Darwin used a corner of the kitchen garden for experimental beds, where he tested theories of plant development and evolution. Beyond the garden is the 'Sandwalk', laid out by Darwin, and know as his 'thinking path', where he would get exercise and contemplate. The Sandwalk is where Darwin came up with many of his most important ideas. A dozen of Darwin's experiments with plants have been recreated for modern visitors to Down House, including a weed experiment which helped him evolve his theory on evolution and the struggle for existence. See the 'Wormstone' where Darwin and his son Horace measured the movement of soil by earthworms, and the croquet lawn, where endangered species of waxcap fungi grow. The lower floor of the house portrays the family life of the Darwins, while the first floor contains exhibits on the life of Charles and his wife Emma. One of the more unusual highlights inside the house is a full-scale replica of Darwin's cabin on the HMS Beagle. The study where Darwin wrote 'On the Origin of Species' has been restored to the way it looked when he worked here. #englandtravel #england_insta #englandtourism #englandtrip #englandhistory #englandlife #loveengland #downe #dawnhouse #charlesdarwinhouse

Stay here and relax with Daphne for as long as you need… 🧘🏻‍♀️😌 Do you know about the positive impact spending time with animals, such as cats, can have on your mental health ? As well as alleviating stress and anxiety, spending time with a cat has been shown to release oxytocin- the infamous ‘happy hormone’. We are determined to make this feeling as accessible to you all as possible. So sit here for a minute (perhaps with a warm mug of tea ☕️), and enjoy a quiet moment amongst your busy day. And please remember, if you want to experience the positive effect of time with animals, why not volunteer with us? There are many cats who would benefit … As would you 🐈🤗💕. -Alice #rescuecat #catrescue #catlovers #rehomeacat #lovecats #adoptacat #catsanctuary #catcharity #animallover #animalsanctuary #rescuekitten #cats #downe #bromley #sevenoaks
