... Kent - the garden of England

Kent is affectionately known as the "Garden of England" because of its quintessentially English countryside - orchards full of blossom, oast houses, majestic castles and beautiful gardens give the county a unique and irresistible charm.

Kent's wider countryside is a rich patchwork of fields, meadows and woodland. Wildlife lovers can explore grass and marshlands in a wealth of nature reserves for the chance to spot some of the county's beautiful butterflies, owls, badgers, otters and foxes.

Whether you're an ardent lover of the great outdoors or simply looking for a revitalising breath of country air, the Garden of England cannot fail to impress you.
