Stepping out

After such a long time spent at home, we’re all looking forward to a summer full of fun, while remaining mindful of our responsibilities towards each other and our beautiful surroundings. So dig out your walking shoes, pack up a picnic, and head out into the glorious Kent countryside.

Discover somewhere new

Kent is full of hidden gems and secret spots off the beaten track that enable social distancing in truly inspiring surroundings.

One Tree Hill near Sevenoaks offers wide-reaching views across the county and was one of the first areas of countryside preserved for the National Trust more than 100 years ago. Or wander round the charming Chiddingstone Village near Edenbridge, one of England’s few remaining Tudor villages.
