Kent, Destination Guide
Known as the ‘Garden of England,’ Kent is a stunning blend of rolling countryside, iconic white cliffs, and deep royal history.

Things to do
Outdoor Adventures
Kent is a hiker’s paradise. Cycle the Crab and Winkle Way from Canterbury to the coast or take a punting tour on the River Stour to see the city’s hidden medieval architecture from the water.
Food and Drink
As the heart of the UK wine industry, Kent offers world-class tastings at Simpsons Wine Estate or Balfour. In Canterbury, visit The Goods Shed, a Victorian-era farmers’ market, or head to Faversham to visit Shepherd Neame, Britain’s oldest brewery.
History and Culture
Follow the footsteps of Chaucer’s pilgrims or visit the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge. For top-tier West End productions, the Marlowe Theatre is the county’s premier performance venue.
Relaxation & Workations
Find tranquillity in Westgate Gardens or enjoy ‘forest bathing’ in the ancient Blean Woods. With its peaceful atmosphere and excellent connectivity, Kent is also an ideal spot for a ‘workation,’ allowing you to trade the office for a view of the North Downs.
