of England", is a county of alluring castles and gardens,
historic sites and seaside towns. The county town of Canterbury
is the site of one of the great English cathedrals, Sissinghurst
Gardens is in the heart of the Weald, while other scattered attractions

channel ports and the historic Cinque Ports, the eerie reclaimed
marshes at Romney, the spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, the
timber-framed village of Penshurst and Lullingstone Roman Villa.
The seaside towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay are popular north

Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate, where in 1751, a resident
of Margate invented the bathing machine and heralded the birth
of sea bathing as a national pastime. Please go here for self catering accommodation in Kent
