Kent Visitor Information
England's 'garden' county, Kent has the loveliest countryside on offer anywhere in the British Isles as well some pretty impressive history.
Places to visit while here might include the country's first cathedral in Canterbury with its thirteenth century stained glass windows. Next door in Rochester, discover the country's second cathedral as well as its Norman castle. Charles Dickens made Rochester famous in the literary sense with a centre here in his honour. In the mood for another castle, head to Leeds Castle actually situated in Kent and upon two islands in the middle of a lake.
Cave exploring is a popular activity in Kent. The Chislehurst Caves provided much needed shelter during World War Two and is laden with stories involving ancient druids, Saxons and Romans. The chalk caves of Margate are also rich in history involving prisoners and tales of religious persecution.
