Let the sea breezes refresh you as you walk along coastal paths or be enchanted by country villages and colourful gardens. Relax over a drink in an oak-beamed pub. Taste freshly caught fish. Discover Kent’s fascinating maritime history, which has been so intricately bound into the county’s life for hundreds of years. 

Kent is steeped in history. See the past come alive at one of the many castles or historic houses. Browse for antiques in Tunbridge Wells. Gaze in awe at the majesty of Rochester and Canterbury cathedrals.

But along with this rich heritage, Kent is thriving and alive with activities. Colourful carnivals and unusual events happen throughout the year. Come and take part. 

Where do you stay? Luxurious country house hotel, cleverly converted barn, quaint B&B or camping site in a pretty setting – the choice is yours.

Above all, Kent is very accessible. An easy journey from London by road and rail – and a short hop to and from mainland Europe by train or ferry. 

Visit us soon. You’ll be completely revitalised.
