As we have recently been exploring this ‘Garden of England’ region at the South East corner of Britain – this seemed a good moment to share a few gems from this county of contrasts.
With easy access from London, the Thames Estuary marks the northern boundary of the county and the rolling countryside spreads out from there - to its lovely beaches and iconic white cliffs. With historic landmarks around every corner, a walking or cycling tour in Kent is a great way to experience the variety the region has to offer – which may be why our Kent trips are so popular!
Each of our tours starts in Canterbury – site of the oldest
Cathedral in the UK and definitely worth taking plenty of time and a guided tour to really get a feel for the 1400 years of history embodied within.
From Canterbury you may choose to cycle towards the coast on
‘A Kent Seaside Jolly’ and meander along the sea wall stopping for an ice cream in some trendy seaside spots along the way. Or take a longer trip and combine the coast with the chalk downs and medieval towns and an overnight stay at
Leeds Castle on our '
Kent Garden of England'.
Of course no Carter Company trip would be complete without those hidden gems and local secrets and a few of our favourite discoveries are listed below to whet your appetite!
