exhilarating walking and cycle trails. Under an hour from
London by train with Southeastern it’s easy to make your

and Folkestone. Combined with the diverse history of
Canterbury and the winding streets of Sandwich, it’s an
exciting area embracing the old and the new.
It’s not simply our inspiring landscapes and lust-worthy

events, celebrations and commemorations across the
county throughout 2020 there’s no excuse to delay. The
golfing world fixes on Sandwich for the 149th Open
Championship. Eyes turn to the skies (and sea) with
major anniversaries for the Battle of Britain and the
Dunkirk evacuation. Add in Dickens 150, Becket 2020,
Dreamland 100 and more... #KentyTwenty is set to be a
big year, we can’t wait to share it!
Breathe in West Kent’s wide-open space, you’ll find lush
countryside, ripe with local produce, including some
of England’s best vineyards. The region is dotted with
towns rich in heraldry and nostalgia such as Tenterden,
Royal Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks, where visitors
can enjoy stunning stately homes and glorious gardens. 
Spark your curiosity as you discover Kent’s best-kept
secrets in the North of the county. An area recently
emerging from huge transformation, North Kent is home

surprise and delight visitors. 
Enjoy your time in our beautiful county!
