Overview

Kent is often called the Garden of England: its traditional hop fields and orchards combine with a landscape of rolling hills, meadows and woods that is quintessentially English. The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers nearly a quarter of Kent, and features dramatic chalk escarpments, secluded dry valleys and ancient woodlands. The North Downs National Trail and the Saxon Shore Way are just a part of the 4,000 miles of footpaths crossing the county, plus many dedicated cycle routes such as the Viking Coastal Trail. No trip to Kent is complete without a walk along the famous white chalk cliffs.
