Kent's 1,500-year-old history has been the inspiration for many poets, writers, and artists. You can find more than 17,000 listed buildings, including the beautiful Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. Just wandering around this pretty castle makes you feel like you are part of history.
Speaking of history, add Chartwell House to your itinerary. This magnificent stately home belonged to Winston Churchill from 1922. You can see many of his personal effects such as photos, books, and art. The grounds are also lovely (and dog-friendly), and boast woodland trails, lakes, gardens, and a sweet playhouse constructed for Churchill's daughter.
No trip to Kent is complete without visiting the iconic White Cliffs of Dover. As well as seeing the cliffs in all their glory, you can walk along the cliffs, pop into the Victorian lighthouse, explore 900-year-old Dover Castle, and head underground to discover the tunnels used in WW2.
If you'd like to see more castles, Kent has them by the bucketload, with more castles and historic houses than any other county. Rochester is one of the oldest castles in the UK, dating back to the 1080s and has survived three major attacks over the centuries. Leeds Castle is often called the loveliest castle in the world. This elegant stronghold has a moat, maze, grotto, and playgrounds for little ones to burn off energy.
Kent is also home to two of the oldest cathedrals in England. Canterbury Cathedral's spectacular interior will leave your mouth open in wonder. With a history stretching back to 597 AD, medieval pilgrims were drawn to the spot where Thomas Becket was murdered. Rochester Cathedral was founded in 604 AD and recently unveiled the first fresco to be painted in an English cathedral in nearly 800 years.
Kent boasts some of the most incredible countryside in the country, with almost 7,000 km of footpaths waiting to be explored. Or, if you fancy a day at the seaside, visit Kent's varied coastline. Make your way to the sandy bays of Broadstairs, Charles Dicken's favourite place for a holiday. Joss Bay is loved for its variety of watersports and shimmering water, Viking Bay is a brilliant choice for families and splashing in the sea, or go to Whitstable or Herne Bay on the north coast to experience their diverse landscapes.
