Having been declared as the 'Garden of England', it's not surprising that Kent is home to some of the prettiest landscapes in the United Kingdom.
Indeed, more than one-third of the county has been deemed an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Rolling countryside, sandy beaches and dense woodland can all be enjoyed here, as well as a happy number of vineyards. Whether you're considering a seaside break, a countryside retreat or a fishing holiday in Kent, you'll find plenty to keep you busy in this charming part of south-eastern England.
In addition to the county's array of dog-friendly pubs, sleepy coastal towns and distinctive oast houses, visitors can discover impressive sights such as the dramatic White Cliffs of Dover, Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. With one of the most popular coastlines in the British Isles, seaside towns and villages such as Margate, Whitstable and the Cinque Ports of Hythe and Rye are much-loved destinations. For those planning a short break in Kent, cottages, pet-friendly holiday homes, and superb hotels are available in abundance.
With so much on offer in Kent, how do you decide what to see? Here's where to begin.
A world-famous British landmark, the White Cliffs of Dover stand 110 metres above the sea and are undoubtedly one of Kent's most photogenic natural sights.
Marvel at the UNESCO-listed Canterbury Cathedral, the Mother Church of the Anglican faith. Explore 1,400 years of history with a short walk around its Romanesque crypt and medieval interior.
A highlight of many Kent holidays is the family-friendly Leeds Castle. Complete with a moat, 500 acres of parks and gardens and 20 bedrooms, this 13th-century castle was once home to Henry III.
To give you a nudge in the right direction, we’ve put our heads together to come up with some of Kent's most impressive sites to experience.
Enjoy a stroll around its quaint winding streets, discover its medieval history and learn more about its past at its museum, housed in a former 14th-century castle.
Visit St Margaret’s at Cliffe, one of the most charming villages along the Kent coast. A former holiday spot of Ian Fleming, it is home to pretty gardens, charming tea rooms and an ancient church.
Dover Castle has a history spanning almost 2,000 years. Now an English Heritage site, the castle boasts one of just three surviving Roman lighthouses in the world.
Be sure to try the local specialities on your holidays in Kent.
These include huffkins, bread rolls with a hole usually filled with jam and Kentish Blue, a blue cheese matured for three months.
Those with a sweet tooth will want to look out for gypsy tart, a traditional Kentish pudding made with shortcrust pastry and filled with evaporated milk and muscovado sugar.
English wine has become increasingly popular in recent years, and the vineyards of Kent have proved particularly fruitful.
One of the most noted is Terlingham Vineyard near Folkestone, which offers tours and tasting sessions of its sustainable vintages.
