Kent: towns, villages, sea and country

23rd March 2007

I was born and brought up in Kent, albeit on the London borders, but moved away in my teens. It is only in recent years that I have begun to visit it once more and to seek out some of its less well known places.

Despite creeping suburbia, busy motorways, and its role as Britain's main link to the continent, there are still a host of attractive towns and villages, and beautiful countryside and coastline to enjoy.
