Nestled in the southeast corner of England, a short distance from the capital, Kent is well deserving of its title as the 'Garden of England'. This region of rolling countryside, sleepy villages, and seaside resorts is the destination of choice for Brits and visitors alike.
Home to one of the most iconic sights in the United Kingdom, the white cliffs of Dover are just a fraction of the 350-mile coastline of this county. The city of Dover offers plenty for younger visitors to enjoy, with walks along the Western Heights hilltop fortifications, a chance to play kings and queens in Dover Castle, and even a sea safari tour of the smuggler's caves below the famous white cliffs.
Quaint rural towns make up the heart of the Kent countryside, representing a quintessentially English experience. Only 30-minutes by train from London, Royal Tunbridge Wells is one of the county's most popular historic towns, having regularly hosted members of the royal family Queen Anne and Queen Victoria. This well-heeled town features a famous colonnaded walkway – the Pantiles – which leads shoppers to boutique stores and independent retailers. Spend your time in Tunbridge exploring the many gardens and stately homes before embarking on a steam train ride along the Spa Valley Railway.
Another great seaside town to visit is Whitstable. This charming community owes its fame to its abundance of fresh oysters, which are celebrated at the annual Oyster Festival. Much of the bohemian character of the town is derived from the many independent craft shops, delicatessens, and bakers found in the village centre. Discover the area's shipbuilding heritage, enjoy a drink at one of the many pubs, or simply wander through quiet alleyways to seek out panoramic viewpoints of the coast.
