Toys Hill

by ChrisnJan

Located just off the A25 between the towns of Westerham and Sevenoaks, Toys Hill is a 200 acre area of hilltop woodland maintained by the National Trust. There are several miles of very good and well maintained waymarked paths through beautiful woodland with occasional stunning views of the surrounding countryside. There are maps and information at the National Trust car park between Toys Hill and Brasted Chart.The circular waymarked routes include; The Green walk - 1 3/4 miles around the hilltop; The Red walk 3 1/2 miles which includes some quite steep sections and steps; The Orange route, a shorter circuit, suitable for wheelchairs and less able ramblers.Having hiked for miles and built up a bit of a thirst, there is a very nice pub called The Fox and Hounds, just a short distance from the car park. They serve some very nice real ales and in case you've also worked up an appertite,...

Somewhere for the keen Photographer.

by ChrisnJan

Dungeness is a very bleak promontory on the southernmost point of Kent’s coast. It is very popular with anglers who enjoy beach casting; I spent some very rewarding nights here myself when I was younger, and the occasional amateur photographer who can be rewarded with some very atmospheric shots from this strangely photogenic place. I took some evening classes in black and white photo processing and the photo's here were taken during this course which is why they are in a black and white medium.Although most famous for its power stations Dungeness also has two lighthouses, the older one is now a tourist attraction and open to the public, a Cafe, two pubs The Britannia and The Pilot, and an RSPB bird reserve. Dungeness is also the end of the line for the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.

Sun going down in Whitstable

by nhcram

The sun going down anywhere is beautiful and Whitstable harbour is no exception. Whitstable harbour has some lovely fish restaurants (Haven't been to any YET) and Whitstable is off course famous for it's oysters.

Ightham Mote

by nhcram

This lovely superb 14th century moated manor house lies in a sunken valley deep in the Kent countryside. The oldest part of the house dates back to 1330. It has over the last few years undergone major restoration work and a fantastic job has been done. Some of the parts of the house include a Jacobean fireplace, a Tudor chapel and a fine example of 18th century Chinese wallpaper. (This too was restored) There is a lovely peaceful woodland walk and some lovely interesting gardens. The National Trust owns the property and it was left to them 20 years ago by the former owner.

Rare Breeds Centre - Woodchurch

by nhcram

The South of England Rare Breeds Centre is one of Kent's most popular tourist attractions, especially for families. You can enjoy a walk through the woodland - perfect for a picnic - or visit the Georgian farmstead that they are building.

Chiddingstone

by steventilly

Chiddingstone is one of the most unspoiled Tudor villages in England. Most of the buildings in the village are now owned by the National Trust and there's a NT shop and information centre there.A short walk from the main street, in a field behind the school, there is a large sandstone rock called The Chiding Stone which gives the village it's name. It seems to be a bit of a magnet for "loving couples", so cough before you approach.

Sissinghurst Gardens

by steventilly

Sissinghurst gardens were created by the famous (and "strange") couple Vita Sackville West and Sir Harold Nicholson. The garden features a tower from the top of which you get a great view of the garden and the surrounding countryside.

by steventilly

Canterbury Cathedral by night, a magnificent sight and well worth staying up late for. Make sure you pack a wide lens, as the surrounding walls mean you can't get too far from the cathedral before you're back out on the streets!

by steventilly

A full-on view of Christ Church Gate. As I said, it was closed until early evening, as you can see by the descending light levels in this picture, and the distinct lack of people (all the French dashed off for their ferries :-))

Billed as 'Kent's most popular...

by steventilly

Billed as 'Kent's most popular tourist attraction' (so I guess that doesn't include cities like Canterbury!) the Whitbread Hop Farm is certainly a great day out. As well as learning all about the uses of hops, not only in beer making but in all sorts of other uses, you can see hot air ballooning, steam engine rallies, falconry displays, etc. You can visit the museum which contains old machinery from a variety of Whitbread breweries and also visit the shop to buy all things hoppy, including actual hop bines to plant in your garden!Get there soon, before it becomes The Interbrew Hop Farm
