WHY GO

For sprawling countryside, exciting days out and stunning coastlines just 40 miles from the capital, Kent – the Garden of England – has it all. With attractions such as the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral and historic castles at your fingertips, it’s the perfect place for couples or families, and if you’re into rambling, it’s an ideal region for epic hikes. The county also provides the option of a stopover if you’re breaking up a longer trip to the continent – travel regulations permitting, of course. Spend a night in Kent before taking the Eurotunnel or Le Shuttle from Folkestone for a smooth start to your European vacation.

WHERE TO DINE AND BE SEEN

Head to the quaint coastal town of Whitstable to try the famous oysters. The most renowned eatery here is the Whitstable Oyster Company, where half a dozen local oysters will cost from £16.
