Kent is known as the 'Garden of England'.

With towns steeped in History, on the south coast of England, Kent is dotted with castles and historic houses, from Leeds Castle to which Henry VIII brought Catherine of Aragon in 1520 to Chartwell in Westerham, the home of Winston Churchill from 1922 until he died in 1965.

Nelsons flagship “HMS Victory” was built at Chatham Dockyards. Five of the original Cinque Ports are to be found in Kent .... Dover, Hythe, New Romney & Sandwich, (the other being Hastings in East Sussex.)
