Looking for the best places to visit in Kent? Do you need some inspiration for days out in Kent? Then look no further.

The Garden of England has its name for a reason. It’s a beautiful, lush landscape that has so much to offer. I’ve been living here for over 3 years now, and I still don’t get enough of it, and there is plenty to explore. Kent is home to some incredible sights.

There are many places to visit in Kent, from the coast to wonderful castles, and other top attractions, or even shopping centres. Here is a list of the best places to visit in Kent:

1. Ashford Designer Outlet – McArthur Glen

If you like shopping, then you’re at the right place here. This outlet centre is part of the McArthur Glen group. They have 7 locations in the UK and 25 worldwide. One of these locations is in Ashford. It’s right off the M20 motorway (Junction 9, 10, or 10a), so easily reachable.

With all these outlet centres, there is plenty of parking available. You can park for free for up to 30 minutes; after that, it costs £2 every four hours, which is reasonable. And if you arrive after 5 pm, parking is free for everyone.

You can find the centre by using the postcode TN24 0SD.

If you’re already in Ashford Town Centre, then you can even walk. It’s only about 15 minutes away. And last but not least, you can also arrive by train; just go to Ashford International, and then it’s a 5-minute walk from there.

As the name suggests, it’s mostly designer stores like COACH, Hugo, Karl Lagerfeld, and others, but you can also find Haribo and Lindt. There should be something for everyone. Just browsing will already keep you moving for a while.

Once you get hungry, you have a good selection of restaurants and cafes. My favourites are Five Guys and Nando’s, and there are others like Yo! (sushi) and Pizza Express. There is no shortage of things to eat.

The outlet centre isn’t anything special if you have been to one, but it still presents the opportunity to spend a nice day or half a day there.

2. Bewl Water

Places to visit in Kent - Bewl Water Aqua Park

Bewl Water might sound like an unusual recommendation because it’s a water reservoir, but the surrounding nature makes a visit worthwhile. This reservoir is also the largest stretch of open water in the South East, and it’s set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Besides the natural beauty of Bewl Water, it also offers an Aqua Park, which is definitely a great experience for the kids, or really anyone who likes to go wild on water. If you prefer a more tranquil experience, then it offers a 12.5-mile (20 km) walk around the reservoir. I’ve hiked and run it once. It isn’t a short walk, but it’s a great route with lovely views. You can also take your bikes and cycle around the lake.

There is plenty of parking available. An all-day parking ticket costs £7. It’s not the cheapest if you don’t stay for long, but it’s worth it if you make a day of it. You can bring your own food and have a nice picnic, but there’s also a canteen that provides food and an ice cream kiosk.

3. Broadstairs

Places to Visit in Kent - Broadstairs Viking bay

Our first coastal town, Broadstairs, is right at the end of Kent and England, located between Margate and Ramsgate, two other towns that are worth visiting, so you could make a weekend of this. The area is called Thanet.

Broadstairs is home to some of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Kent. It does have a tide, so the beaches aren’t always as wide as they can be, but that’s tide life.

To name a few of the beaches (there are just so many to choose from), there is Botany Bay, probably the most popular beach in Broadstairs (maybe even the best beach); Viking Bay, Joss Bay, Louisa Bay, and Dumpton Gap. Dumpton Gap might not have the most promising name, but it’s beautiful nonetheless.

You can walk from Dumpton Gap to Ramsgate.

If it’s not quite beach weather, then you have several sights to see in Broadstairs. There is the Dickens House Museum. As you probably guessed, this is the house that Charles Dickens stayed at when he was in Broadstairs.

It’s a small house packed with lots of information, and the entry fee of £4 isn’t too steep.

Another museum with a nice view is the Crampton Tower Museum. It has model railways and information about Broadstairs.

Especially in the summer, you can go crabbing and baiting. The local souvenir shops near the beach sell everything you need.

There are plenty of fish & chip shops around, as well as nice restaurants. A local’s recommendation is the ice cream parlour Morelli’s. There is always a queue, but it’s worth it.

And one more thing that speaks in Broadstairs’ favour is free parking near the promenade. You can park for free at the W Cliff Promenades car park. It’s on-street parking with plenty of space. Where do you usually get that in a seaside town? A few steps, and you’re already looking down at Louisa Bay.

Tip: If you fancy a somewhat unusual accommodation, you can stay in one of the fishermen’s cottages which are closely located to the beach.

4. Canterbury

Places to visit in Kent - Canterbury river and garden

I believe Canterbury is one of the most famous cities in England, but if not, then certainly Kent. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its stunning cathedral and medieval walls. There is lots of history in Canterbury.

You may have heard about the Archbishop of Canterbury. He is a principal leader of the Church of England and the ceremonial head of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Seems pretty special to me.

The person who holds the title of Archbishop of Canterbury is usually the one who crowns the monarchs. So, he was the one who crowned King Charles III.

So, what is there to see in Canterbury, one of the best places to visit in Kent?

First of the aforementioned cathedral. It’s the first Church of England and dates back to 597. And it’s still standing, not bad. I’m not sure other structures in England last that long.

Entry isn’t cheap. It’s currently £17 per adult. However, this ticket entitles you to visit for a whole year. St Paul’s Cathedral in London does the same. And I definitely got my money’s worth there.

You do have to buy a ticket if you want to see the cathedral. Does that sound weird? Don’t you always? No, because often you can at least see the cathedral from the outside.

This is not possible in Canterbury. The cathedral is surrounded by walls, and you can only see it if you get a ticket to go inside. So, arrive early enough to make the entry fee worthwhile.

Walking around Canterbury is already a treat. The cobblestone streets, the old buildings, so much history to see in such a small space.

There are lovely little shops all around Canterbury as well as restaurants and cafes. You can spend a day here, just trying out different types of food.

The River “The Great Stour” (or River Stour) flows through Canterbury, and you can often see punters riding on the river. Not as many as in Oxford or Cambridge, but if you want to try your hand, you might appreciate the less crowded waters.

Westgate Gardens along the river is a must-see. So beautiful and picturesque, definitely a beautiful place to visit. If you’d like to see more historic buildings, then you might want to visit St. Augustine’s Abbey, only an 8-minute walk from Canterbury Cathedral.

There are no free car parks around Canterbury, so you always have to pay to park somewhere. There are two park and ride car parks. Parking there costs £4 for the day, and the bus runs every 20 minutes. Other car parks are around the city.

5. Chiddingstone Castle

Our first castle on the list is Chiddingstone Castle, a very imposing and beautiful English country house also used as a museum.

If you like to enjoy cream tea in a traditional Tea Room, then you’re in the right place. Cakes and scones are delicious, and the atmosphere is the cherry on top.

Chiddingstone Castle is near Royal Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks and is definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby. It’s open on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but not on Saturdays, so please keep that in mind when you plan your visit.

They also have Christmas Artisan fairs, which are a treat.

Tickets cost £11 for an adult and £5.50 for children. Car parking is available, and they ask for a donation of £3 for upkeep.

If you don’t want to go into the castle, there are also beautiful walks around the grounds. And if you’re my complete opposite and like to go fishing, they even offer that. On a first-come, first-served basis, you can get a space along their bank.

They have carp, bream, and perch – and if you like to fish, you probably know what that means. This costs £10 per person (up to 2 rods).

6. Deal

Deal may not be as widely recognised as some of the more famous Kentish towns, but it’s a hidden gem that offers a unique coastal experience. Nestled on the southeastern coast of Kent, Deal is a quaint seaside town brimming with history, character, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The main attractions are the beach, the promenade, and the pier. However, Deal also offers a castle. Deal Castle looks impressive with its round shapes. It’s located close to the beach, an elaborate coastal fort.

The castle is part of English Heritage, so if you’re a member, entrance is free; if you aren’t a member, then tickets are available from £8.50. They do change their prices slightly depending on the season.

There is much to see in the castle and it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Deal beach is a lovely pebble beach, and attached to it is Deal Pier. It doesn’t offer much entertainment if you compare it to Brighton or other seaside piers, but you can still enjoy a scenic stroll. The view of Deal is stunning.

The old town of Deal is also not to be forgotten. Quaint little houses invite you to take a walk around.

There are plenty of restaurants and fish & chip shops around for when hunger strikes.

7. Dover

Places to visit in Kent - Dover, view from ferry

Dover itself is not the prettiest town, and most people know it because of the major ferry port that connects England with France, but it has more to offer than that.

One of the main attractions, which is not to be missed, is Dover Castle. The entrance fee is not cheap at almost £24 per adult – which is also adjusted based on the season; however, it has a lot to offer. It’s also part of English Heritage.

Dover Castle looks stunning from the town centre, overlooking the town. It has a rich history that is well displayed. A great installation can be found in the tunnels where Second World War history is being shown.

You’ll also have a nice views across the ferry port and the English Channel, which is interesting to watch, seeing all the ferries leaving and arriving. I always want to get on a ferry when I’m there to explore new areas.

Fun fact: Henry II made Dover Castle to the impressive castle it still is.

English Heritage Website

Places to visit in Kent - Dover Castle

Close to Dover are, as the name suggests, the White Cliffs of Dover. It’s a beautiful sight to see and a great location for a walk. The easiest way to get to the start of the walk is by car. However, parking costs £5 for cars and £7 for motorhomes for the day.

The area is maintained by the National Trust, so you don’t have to pay for parking if you’re a member.

You can also walk from Dover Station, which is about a 2-mile walk. The route can be downloaded from the National Trust website. There is a visitor centre and a café if you need refreshments.

If you do arrive by car, please be aware that the car park closes most days at 7 PM.

Part of this National Trust area is also the Fan Bay Deep Shelter. It is a network of tunnels that provided accommodation for the soldiers working on the gun battery located there. The entry fee is £10 for an adult.

You can also go for a bit of shopping in Dover. There is a collection of shops and restaurants in the St. James Retail and Leisure Park.

And if you fancy a museum, then Dover can also offer that. You can visit the Dover Transport Museum. If you like old cars, you’ll be happy in there. The volunteers who run the museum really put a lot of effort into the displays and are always glad to help.

8. Faversham

A charming little town, close to the sea. The town’s historical roots date back to Roman times, and this heritage is evident in its well-preserved architecture and landmarks. Simply a great place to visit.

Faversham is blessed with its own picturesque creek, offering a quiet escape for visitors. It is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Be sure to visit Faversham Charter market. Its history dates back to 1086. It is held every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. The Best of Faversham Charter Arts, Crafts, and Food Market is held on the first and third Saturday of each month.

And if two markets are not already enough, there is a third, the Faversham Antiques & Vintage market that is held on the first Sunday of every month.

I’m sure there is a market for everyone. However, if you’re more into tasting liquids, then Faversham can also help you with that. The Shepherd Neame Visitor Centre offers brewery tours. See how Britain’s oldest brewer does it all. And try some tasty Kentish ales and speciality lagers.

Another special offer in Faversham is Huckleberry Woods. A small, family-run animal farm. You have to book to get in, and once you’ve made it, you’ll be able to see an incredible number of micro and miniature animals.

I’m saying micro-pigs, miniature donkeys, alpacas, and the incredible Teddy Bear sheep. Be aware that closed-toe shoes must be worn. So, no flip flops or sandals. Which is understandable as you can get very close to the animals.

Tickets cost £8.95 for adults. And you have access for 2 hours. It’s understated, not like a huge zoo. But that is also very much part of its charm.

A bit quieter and even more nature can be found in the Oare Marshes Nature Reserve. It’s a haven for birdwatchers and offers stunning views of the marshland. They have introduced parking charges to cover costs for maintaining the area, starting at £2.50 on weekdays.

There are circular footpaths that bring you to viewing hides. You can take your dog(s) if they’re kept on a lead.

9. Folkestone

Folkestone, a port town, is another place to visit in Kent. Just on the south coast of England. It used to be an important harbour and shipping port. 

As mentioned, Folkestone used to be an important harbour port, and it’s still worth a visit. There are many food stalls and cafés you can try out. Being by the sea, there is a big variety of seafood available.

Before you move on, you should visit the Folkestone mermaid that sits at the beginning of the harbour arm. Next to it is the Sunny Sands beach, which is a lovely beach to relax on.

From the harbour, you can walk along the Marina Parade to the Leas Promenade. You’ll be rewarded with lovely views and be able to see the English beach huts.

Folkestone also invites you to have a stroll around the town centre. There is plenty of restaurants and cute little shops to pass the time. It has become a town with an active art community.

You can see quirky little shops in the Creative Quarter. Please be aware that many of the shops are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

If you’re more into museums, then Folkestone offers the Kent Battle of Britain Museum. It’s about 10 minutes outside of Folkestone. It shows a lot of history based around the Battle of Britain, yes, you guessed correctly.

You can see artefacts of planes that crashed during the battle. Over 700 of them. Entry fee is £10 per adult. The museum is closed every Monday but open the rest of the week. You’re not allowed to take photos inside, but you can take them outside.

10. Gillingham / Chatham

You can get a 2 for 1 deal with Gillingham and Chatham, or even a 3 for 1 if you want to swing by Rochester as well. Rochester is covered in more detail further down.

Gillingham is a bit more modern and doesn’t offer a beach, but it’s still very nice to walk around the harbour. If you cross over into Chatham, you can visit the Historic Dockyard. The ticket price isn’t cheap with a £25 price tag, but it is valid for a whole year. And there’s more to see than fits in one day.

You can also participate in guided tours which must be booked at the dockyard. It’s based on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to sign up when you arrive. This includes tours of the submarine.

There is currently free parking for visitors. People who don’t visit the dockyard need to pay for parking.

Another museum that is worth a visit is the Royal Engineers Museum. As with the dockyard tickets, the tickets are valid for 12 months. The adult ticket costs £14 per person. The car park is free for visitors and should usually be big enough to accommodate everyone.

If you’re more interested in walks, then Gillingham offers the Capstone Farm Country Park. It’s a bit away from the sea, about a 10-minute drive to get to well-maintained walking paths. The car park is free.

Another park located by the sea in Gillingham is the Riverside Country Park. You’ll be able to see lovely views, ever-changing scenery, and wildlife.

11. Herne Bay

Places to visit in Kent - Herne Bay Pier with Amy Johnson statue

Herne Bay is another coastal town and lovely seaside resort. It’s close to Margate but a lot less busy. You can see beautiful sunsets here with a cute little pier. You can see the previous end of the pier in the distance. A storm in 1978 tore down the middle section of it.

You can park along the promenade and enjoy a lovely walk along it. There are many huts that offer food and drinks, and arcades and ice cream parlours are all around. The beach is a pebble beach in Herne Bay, which surprised me as Margate has a sandy beach, but that’s why it’s worth visiting all the places in Kent.

A little bit away from the centre of Herne Bay are the Reculver Towers and Roman Fort. They’re part of English Heritage and are currently closed for major conservation works, but you can still see these imposing ruins from the outside.

And what would another coastal town be without a museum recommendation? Exactly, it’s impossible. Close to the Central Parade at the start of the mole, is the Herne Bay Seaside Museum.

It’s not one of the biggest museums, but then the entry fee is only £3 per adult. It shows a lot of information about the history of Herne Bay.

12. Hever Castle & Gardens

Hever Castle isn’t just an impressive castle; it also has beautiful, huge gardens that are worth a visit. The castle offers mazes, play areas, walks around the lake, miniature model houses, and many more things. Definitely something for everyone. However, the tickets aren’t cheap at £23.10 for an adult for both the castle and the gardens.

They also have events at the Castle, like Easter Family Fun, Tulips, Autumn Colour, Halloween, Christmas, or if you’re really sporty, you can even participate in Triathlons or the Commando Series. I believe it’s not about going without underwear.

You can also stay at Hever Castle. They have a ‘five star’ Bed and Breakfast, and a ‘five star gold’ rated holiday cottage. If you book a stay, then you don’t have to pay the entry fees.

13. Leeds Castle

And onto the next castle, Leeds Castle. Located near Maidstone, it’s another beauty if you like castles as much as I do. The entry fee is again not the cheapest. You can save £5 if you book it online and then it’s £30 per adult. The ticket is valid for a year though.

You can also play golf on the castle grounds. It’s a historical 9-hole course. In summer, they offer a beach to relax and other events that make it worth a visit and are often included in the entry fee.

You can also go on self-guided walks to see the seasonal parklands and see the wildlife that lives on the estate. They also have a bird of prey centre and falconry displays. The times vary based on the season, so check before you visit to ensure you’ll be able to see this.

14. Margate

Places to visit in Kent - Margate view of beach

The second town of Thanet in this list – Broadstairs being the first.

This artsy town has a lot to offer. It’s bustling with energy, and many people come here to enjoy the lovely views from the promenade onto the sandy beaches and the sea.

It has a lovely town centre with many stores and restaurants. Buses connect Broadstairs, Margate, Ramsgate if you want to see all three.

Margate also offers an amusement park, Dreamland Margate. This amusement park with many popular attractions is also used as an open-air venue for concerts. The park is free to enter, and you pay per ride when you’re there. They are not the most thrilling rides, but you wouldn’t really expect that from a historic seaside amusement park.

Margate also offers the Shell Grotto. It is quite unassuming from the outside; as you enter through a shop, you’ll walk down a few steps and get into the tunnel where a huge number of shells are stuck to the walls. It is quite a unique experience.

The tickets cost £4.50 per adult, and while there might not be much to see, what there is to see is quite stunning. It’s located in a normal neighbourhood, so parking is limited.

If you just want to relax for a day, then Margate Main Beach is for you. It’s a beautiful big sandy beach (depending on the tide). The beach has been recognised by Blue Flag. This means the standard of the beach is very high.

Next to having plenty of grains of sands, there also lots of fish and chips shops and ice cream parlours around, so you’ll never run out of food.

15. Ramsgate

Places to visit in Kent - Ramsgate tunnels entrance

And the third town of Thanet, Ramsgate. Even though all three are in such proximity, they all have their different charm and different reasons to visit.

Ramsgate offers a sandy beach and a harbour that invites you to walk around. If you like to fish, then you’ll have good company as there are many anglers on the mole.

Let’s start with the museum this time. Ramsgate Tunnels are not only a museum; they also offer a tour of the tunnels. They used to be railway tunnels and were later used as air raid precaution tunnels during the Second World War.

The tour of the tunnels takes about 1.5 hours, which is well worth the £9 entry fee for an adult. People over 5ft10 (1.78m) are advised to wear hard helmets (I’m not one of them) as the tunnel ceilings can get quite low.

The area around the harbour has plenty of restaurants to eat in. The town centre isn’t that nice, but you have enough to see at the seaside.

You can take a lovely walk from Ramsgate to Broadstairs on the promenade along the beach, but be aware that you need to go up the wall if the tide is in, otherwise, you’ll end up at a dead end. The return isn’t too far, but just in case you want to avoid that.

If you go along the top of the wall, you’ll have an amazing view of the sea. You can enjoy a lovely breeze while sitting on one of the many benches.

16. Rochester

Places to visit in Kent - View of Rochester Cathedral from Rochester Castle

I briefly touched upon Rochester while writing about Gillingham and Chatham. You can combine the three, but Rochester is definitely worth a visit on its own.

It doesn’t only have a castle, it also has a cathedral! And if one castle wasn’t enough, it even has a second castle! Is this maybe the best town in the world?

And yes, it is a town even though it has a cathedral. Rochester (foolishly) lost the status when Medway was formed. Rochester is also known for the love it received from Charles Dickens.

As mentioned before, Rochester has a castle, which is an imposing square structure. It is part of English Heritage. If you’re not a member, then the ticket costs £7.70 per adult, which is worth it.

Places to visit in Kent - Rochester Castle

You have great views from the top of the River Medway and the cathedral. The cathedral is right next to the castle. It is free to enter.

And there is plenty to see, including lovely stained-glass windows and an impressive organ. The other castle is a bit further from the town centre; otherwise, it would be a bit crowded.

This castle is called Upnor Castle. It is also part of English Heritage. You can get a combination ticket with Upnor Castle, Rochester Castle, and Eastgate House for £17.05 per adult. A single ticket costs like Rochester Castle £7.70.

Walking around Rochester High Street, you’ll see the Guildhall Museum. It is a bit unassuming but in a stunning building. Entry is free, so it’s definitely worth a visit – and it would be even if there were a fee.

17. Royal Tunbridge Wells

Tunbridge Wells is a lovely little town near the border of East Sussex and located in the Weald of Kent. It has charming little areas, especially The Pantiles. A cluster of cute, independent shops and restaurants, many of which you can only find there. 

If you’re looking for something special to eat, then you’ll find a restaurant or a café there. The high street is also worth a visit with more brand names to be found there.

In case you’re looking for a more scenic and natural environment, then Tunbridge Wells has a few parks that are inviting you to come. One of these parks is Dunorlan Park. It has a nice little café with a great view over the lake.

Tunbridge Wells is also known for its High Rocks. Will you see high rocks there? Yes, are they higher than other rocks? No. But they are still a sight and it’s a lovely walk from the town centre. After your walk, you can have a nice meal in the pub there.

Places to visit in Kent - High Rocks

Two impressive places to visit near Royal Tunbridge Wells are Scotney Castle and Bayham Old Abbey. Both are very different but worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Scotney Castle is, as the name suggests, a castle with magnificent grounds. It’s part of the National Trust. The ticket costs £16.50 per adult for the whole property if you’re not a member. It does close in winter, so be sure to check opening times before your visit.

Bayham Old Abbey is another gem. Whereas Scotney Castle is still standing, the abbey is an impressive ruin. It’s part of English Heritage, but it’s free to enter. You only have to pay £2 for parking, which is well worth it. There are signs around to guide you.

National Trust Website

18. Sandwich

Sandwich is close but not right next to the sea. It’s located near Ramsgate.

It offers a glimpse into the history of the Romans at the Richborough Roman Fort and Amphitheatre, a vast site with a lot of interesting information. It has on-site parking if you don’t want to walk from the town centre. The ticket costs from £8.50 depending on the season if you’re not an English Heritage member.

A small museum that is free to enter in the town centre is the Sandwich Guildhall Museum. For a little museum, there is much to see.

Sandwich is an inviting place to walk around, with many pubs to choose from. And when you want to see a gunboat, you can even do that. You can see the USN P22 in the heart of Sandwich.

19. Sevenoaks

Sevenoaks has a nice High Street with some chain and some independent stores as well as many restaurants and pubs.

From the town centre, you can walk to the lovely Knole Park. The park has free entry, but you also have the opportunity to visit Knole House, which is part of the National Trust. You can either just visit the outdoor and the tower or the showrooms as well.

If you want to see it all, the ticket costs £15 if you’re not a National Trust member. Parking is included in the entry fee. The park also has a lot of deer. You might see a few here and there. Don’t get too close though.

Places to visit in Kent - Knole Park House

Sevenoaks also offers a wonderful garden site, the Riverhill Himalayan Gardens. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and an adult ticket costs £11, so it’s not the cheapest to enter, but if you’re into beautiful and historic gardens, then it’s the place to visit.

A bit further away from Sevenoaks is another stunning site, Ightham Mote. It’s a 14th-century moated manor house in a beautiful setting with many nice walks around there.

Ightham Mote is part of the National Trust. Adult tickets cost £16. If you’re a National Trust member, then parking is free; otherwise, a £3 charge occurs.

20. Whitstable

Places to visit in Kent - Whitstable view of beach and beach huts

Whitstable is a lovely little seaside town in the north of Kent. If you like oysters, then you have to go there.

Whitstable Harbour not only offers a beautiful sight, but it also has lots of oysters to choose from. They have an annual Whitstable Oyster Festival in the summer.

Another special ‘attraction’ of Whitstable is The Street. It’s a sandbank that you can walk on during low tide. It’s an eerie feeling walking in the middle of the sea like this.

If you’re up for another walk, then walk along the Tankerton Slopes. A lovely long stretch of grass to walk along and enjoy the scenery. Once you’re in the town centre, you can enjoy fish & chips or ice cream, as well as other restaurants and cafés.

Whitstable also offers a castle, Whitstable Castle, it is adequately called. Although it is more of a house but made to look like a castle and offers nice food.

And if you can’t visit a town without a museum, then Whitstable won’t let you down with the Whitstable Museum and Gallery. It’s not a big museum, but then the entry fee is only £3 per adult.

21. Wye

Places to visit in Kent - Wye view of fields

The end is Wye. Wye is a village which is part of the Ashford district. Wye has made it on the list due to the beauty of Wye National Nature Reserve and Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just a beautiful sight of the Kent countryside.

Visiting Wye is for the nature lovers and hikers among us. There are so many beautiful walks around; you could spend weekends there.

And after a lovely walk, you can go to the village centre and have a delicious lunch in one of the pubs.
