Explore Kent

If you like exploring you'll be spoilt for choice in Kent. Its magnificent country side and expansive coastline provide ample opportunity for adventure, relaxation and excitement.

The rustic charm that inspired H.E. Bates to write the "Darling Buds of May" seduces visitors in every season. Kent's stunning variety of landscapes range from the mysterious Romney Marsh, which was once entirely under water, to the splendour of the scenic High Weald. Indulge your senses with colours and smells in vineyards, orchards and enchanting gardens such as Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Yalding Organic Gardens, Mount Ephraim or Groombridge Place Gardens.

There are thousands of miles of pretty country lanes, footpaths and bridleways to explore on invigorating days on foot, bike or horseback. Walk scenic national trails like the North Downs Way and Saxon Shore Way, or take your bike around Kent's many cycle routes, stopping off at places of interest and relaxing in country pubs for refreshment along the way.
