About Kent
The county of Kent in the South East has plenty of fascinating history. England’s oldest county was once a separate kingdom but joined what we now know as the UK in the 8th century. Now, this sprawling area offers everything from historical buildings to ultra-modern art galleries to rolling hills ripe for exploration.
Best places to visit in Kent
Popular places to visit include Canterbury’s World Heritage site, which is home to one of England’s most important historical buildings, Canterbury Cathedral. There are also fairytale castles and stately homes that boast glorious gardens like Leeds Castle and Penshurst Place.
Adventures by the sea
If you venture out to Kent’s traditional coastal towns, you’ll find plenty to keep everyone busy. Some, like Margate, have been given a new lease of life thanks to modern attractions like the Turner Contemporary museum. Feeling brave? You could even take a dip in the water and try your hand at watersports like windsurfing and paddleboarding.
Exploring the Garden of England
And if you fancy getting back to nature, Kent’s 350 miles of coastline, as well as endless nature reserves and ancient woods, give you plenty of opportunities to lose yourself in the great outdoors.
