With an expansive array of cuisines and a well-connected shoreline, we have little doubt Kent will be able to provide whatever food you're looking for. The so called 'Garden of England' is well regarded for its locally sourced food and drink, in fact, it's home to some of Britain's most famous produce - Whitstable Oysters and Romney Marsh Lamb, for example, not to mention to abundance of fruit and vegetables that is grown across Kentish orchards and farmland.

Not only is Kent’s food fabulous, but so is its scenery. Kent’s restaurants often make the most of their location, showcasing spectacular views. Whether you are hoping for a seaside spot to enjoy an Aperol Spritz and a hand-crafted pizza, or a proper country pub that serves traditional British food and a well-poured pint, then Kent has you covered. As a last resort, Kent's proximity to London means you're never too far away from one of the greatest food cities in the world and everything London has to offer.

If you have time, it is worth visiting one of Kent’s historic castles, they are so plentiful that wherever you are you are likely to have at least one not too far away. Or if staring at big old buildings isn’t your thing, you can take a coastal wander along the White Cliffs of Dover or in Samphire Hoe Country Park.
