 Kent, the "Garden
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
include Chartwell, Leeds Castle, oyster-famous Whitstable, the
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 in Kent
are popular north coast resorts. Further east are the Isle of
Thanet resorts of 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
