The Kent coast and country is hard to beat. Some call it the best UK beach destination there is. Few counties can match its mix of clifftops, gardens and gentle seaside charm.
Nestled between London and the continent, Kent is known as the Garden of England. It boasts more castles and gardens than any other county. The famous White Cliffs of Dover stand guard over its shores.
Why the Kent coast and country wins hearts
Here you can taste salt-spray and smell apple blossom. Exhilarating watersports get the adrenaline pumping. Clifftop activities reward you with sweeping sea views.
Prefer to slow down? Luxury spa resorts and gourmet fine dining await. Award-winning vineyards pour wine the world now drinks. Unspoiled villages and artistic havens invite gentle wandering.
Heritage, history and spectacular landscapes
History was made on Kentish soil. Staggering castles and cathedrals tell stories spanning centuries. Ancient monuments and rich local heritage give every visit real depth.
One-of-a-kind landscapes complete the picture. Blockbuster films are shot along these shores. Rural beauty rolls right down to the spectacular coastline.
Plan the perfect short break
Kent enjoys the fastest domestic and international rail links in the country. That makes it ideal for day trips and short breaks. Longer stays reward you too.
Choose from luxury hotels, cosy pubs, safari lodges or cliff-top tepees. There are few places where London feels so close, yet so far away.
Whether you seek a family holiday or a romantic getaway, the inspiration is endless. Picture quiet weekends by the sea. Imagine grand castles glimpsed at golden hour.
