Really close to London is the Bolebroke Watermill B&B accommodation.
The address is: Edenbridge Road, Hartfield, East Sussex, TN7 4JP
Telephone: 01892 770425 and e-mail: [email protected]
Their website (http://www.bolebrokemillhotel.co.uk/) says:
"First recorded in 1086 in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book, corn
continued to be ground on the property till 1948. The idyllic setting
of woodland, meadows and millpond, tucked away at the end of a winding
country lane, evokes a sense of centuries past. In 1994 its unspoilt
charm served as the romantic backdrop for the filming of Carrington,
starring Emma Thompson and Jonathan Price.
It's about $100/night.
Nearby is Leeds Castle, Hever Castle, Penhurst Gardens, Sissinghurst
Gardens, Chartwell (the former home of Winston Churchill) and lots of
other places of interest.
Have a great trip

Re: A month in England
I suppose that my first question is do you really mean England and not
the whole island?
Assuming that you do:
Devon, Cornwall and Bath.
York and Hadrian's wall.
Lake District.
As individual sights I would include Hampton Court Palace, if you think
that it's outside London, Oxford, Stratford.
oops I forgot the Cotswolds,
Or just get lost on some country lanes and see where they come out.

Re: A month in England
Apologies to OP if (s)he already knows this, but:
England is 1 of 3 countries which occupy the island of "Great Britain": the
others are Scotland and Wales. Add in Northern Ireland (which shares the
nearby island of Ireland with Eire) and you have the United Kingdom - this
and Eire are sovereign states (up to a point now that both are members of
the EU...). The totality of the islands comprising the UK and Eire are
collectively known as the British Isles.
IMHO, it seems a real shame to be missing out on Scotland, Wales, Northern
Ireland and Eire if you're in the neigbourhood. All have fabulous
countryside, interesting towns & cities and welcoming people. Northern
Ireland in particular, notwithstanding decades of terrorist violence
(currently in abatement), has the nicest people of the lot...assuming you
can understand the accent !
My top picks for each would be:
Scotland: Highlands (landscape), Edinburgh (architecture), Glasgow
(people)
Wales: Snowdonia (landscape), Llandudno (typical seaside town), Cardiff
(nightlife)
Northern Island: Giants' Causeway (landscape), Belfast (people)
Eire: All of it (landscape), Dublin (people, architecture and nightlife)
Cheers
Nick

The OP asked about sights to see "outside of London"; Northern
Ireland certainly is "outside of London"

But the subject says "A month in England". Northern Ireland would be
outside England.

Awww. I haven't been there in too long. I hope Annie's Coffee Shop
is still there. They used to have a chocolate almond cake with tia
maria that I firmly believe was what God has for dessert on special
occasions.

As someone who lives in roughly the same place I would take exception to
that. Then agree with you.
