Places to stay in Kent

Kent

Kent is steeped in history and heritage and is also rightly renowned throughout the world as the Garden of England. The extensive coastline boasts an enviable array of blue flag award winning beaches and thrilling watersports activities. It's easy to visit Kent in England's south east corner, just 35 minutes from central London on Southeastern's high speed rail link, and with fantastic offers on accommodation and attractions, there's never been a better time to visit. Once there, you can stay carbon friendly and visit much of Kent by train including the county's iconic landmarks such as Canterbury Cathedral, Leeds Castle and the White Cliffs of Dover. Sitting demurely in London’s backyard, Kent is justly described the garden of England. This neatly manicured landscape of lush farmland, cultivated country estates, fruitful orchards, and carefully nurtured tourist attractions seems to mirror its own glorious public gardens on a grand scale. It’s also the beer garden of England, producing the world-renowned Kent hops and some of the country’s finest ales. Here too is the port of Dover which is close enough to France to smell the garlic or hop over on a day trip to taste it. Whether you are looking for relaxation and the chance to unwind or for something more active including great hand's on fun for the younger family members then Kent is the place for you.
