The South East Romany Museum is run by the Brazil family, who have lived in Marden with their families since 1973 and have long-standing ties to Kent's Romany way of life. Using traditional craftsmanship, the brothers restore horse drawn vehicles, and camps are set up as they would have been in horse drawn days. With the aid of Lottery funding they added a study room in which talks, slide shows and films can be shown, meeting demand from schools and others for information relating to the Romany way of life. It's best to phone first before visiting. The museum is in Kent, near Marden station 1 miles away, with 22 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
