English Winter Countryside - Personalized Ceramic Tile

Snow has become a rare natural phenomenon in certain regions of the UK(as well as Europe), especially in the Southeast. So when the English countryside became engulfed with thick snow, a winter walk beckoned the soul to explore the frosty wonderland. LOCATION: Eastwell Park is a large parkland and country estate in Eastwell, about two miles south of the civil parish of Challock. Eastwell is a hamlet and civil parish approximately three miles north of Ashford; part of the county of Kent, the Garden of England, in the United Kingdom. FACTS: From 1940, during World War 2, the British Army took over Eastwell Park and used the site for training troops. In 1942, it became a secret testing ground for an experimental flame-throwing tank, known as the Churchill Crocodile, with a range of 100 yards. Prime Minister Winston Churchill inspected them on 20th November 1942. Top brass visitors including King George VI were also treated to demonstrations. This was all in preparation for D-Day, 6th June 1944.
