Kent

Long known as the Garden of England for its orchards, hop gardens and oast houses, Kent runs from a cathedral city with thirteen centuries of pilgrimage history down to a Georgian spa town, an oyster-fishing coast, and a moated castle set among the wooded Weald.

About this guide

We keep this simple: a short, honest guide to each part of Kent, and a live link through to Booking.com to check current availability and prices — we don't maintain our own hotel listings or reviews, since those go stale fast and Booking.com's own data doesn't.
