Dover. Kent is a county in the South East England region, the closest county to continental Europe. It borders Essex across the entire estuary of the River Thames to the north; the French department of Pas-de-Calais across the Strait of Dover to the south-east; East Sussex to the south-west; Surrey to the west and Greater London to the north-west.
Rural Kent holds a great variety of landscape, from the North Downs, to the delightful Weald, down to the fertile solitudes of Romney, Denge, and Walland Marshes stretching inland from the south coast, and the Isle of Thanet in the northeast. Kent has numerous noteworthy castles, and more modern defensive works along the coast facing Europe.
Chiddingstone. Chiddingstone is one of the oldest villages in Kent and full of historic timber-framed houses. The village is owned by the National Trust and dominated by Chiddingstone Castle — a 400-year-old country house. Chiddingstone is a good place to see village community life at its best and to enjoy a traditional tea room.

In the old villages in Kent and Sussex, traditional cottages built of brick and flint border age-old streets where small neighbourhood stores still do good business.
