Kent is a county in southeastern England. In the city of Canterbury, Canterbury Cathedral has a 1,400-year history, and features a Romanesque crypt and medieval stained glass. The underground Canterbury Roman Museum has excavated mosaics. Whitstable, to the north, is a coastal town with colourful cottages and a harbourside fish market. East, along the coast, Margate is home to the Turner Contemporary art gallery.

Our corner of England is one of the best UK destinations for a day trip or short break, with a multitude of things to do and places to see. We’ve got some of the best beaches in Europe – voted by Lonely Planet – as well as art galleries, elegant stately homes, romantic getaways, fun-filled family attractions, and more than 4,000 of exhilarating foot and cycle trails.

We’re less than an hour from London by train and with super-fast links to Europe, so it’s easy to escape the rat race and see what Kent has to offer on your next adventure.
