Kent has something for everyone. Foodies can explore a cornucopia of farmers markets, discover village pubs serving exquisite food and fine ales made with Kentish hops, and buy local delicacies such as Whitstable oysters or Kentish cobnuts.

The 350 miles of Kent coastline offer sandy beaches and opportunities for sailing, kayaking and other water sports. Inland there are country parks, nature reserves, farms and orchards. The backbone of Kent – the North Downs – is a ridge of chalk hills running from Farnham in Surrey down to the white cliffs of Dover. The downs afford ample opportunities for walking, cycling or orienteering.

Kent is a golfer’s dream and boasts superb championship, links and downland courses. Many have spectacular views of the county and beyond, so whether you’re an experienced pro or an enthusiastic amateur, make sure you take the time to play a round or two of golf while you’re here.

If you have children, there are plenty of family-friendly activities such as educational/historical experiences, wildlife parks, petting zoos and family fun parks to keep the whole family entertained.
