Natural beauty
and sensational scenery
Lace up those hiking boots, wrap those
scarves and step towards your next outdoor
adventure. Kent is home to an abundance
of naturally beautiful parkland, woodland
and open waters which offer a picture-perfect
setting to soak in the sunset views. Admire
the soul stirring skies reflecting on the largest
stretch of open water in the South East at
Bewl Water. Ponder around the 800-acre
site which offers space for hiking, riding,
sailing, fishing and much more, before ending
the day looking over the waters as the striking
sunset disappears in the distance.
Sunsets and sand
What better way to unwind than by watching
the sun hide away behind Thanet’s beautiful
coastline? Take a windswept wander along
magnificent Margate Main Sands, tantalise
taste buds with a hearty portion of
quintessentially Kentish fish & chips and
gaze as the stunning sunset lines the sea.
Or, take a deep breath of fresh seaside air
at Minnis Bay, watch your toes sink into
the golden sand and feel your mind still as
the sun meets the horizon against the
backdrop of 12th Century Reculver Towers.
And relax…
