While stretches of the coast are delightful, Kent has suffered from coastal tourism since Victorian times. Known as 'the garden of England', its rural country is famous for its brewing tradition and is littered with distinctive hop houses. The Weald is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty worth exploring. Tonbridge Wells is a refined town on the River Medway, Tenterden has a beautiful High St while Canterbury, with its impressive cathedral was immortalised by Chaucer. Leeds Castle, near Maidstone is also stunning.
