The South East England / Kent region

South East England is a region rich in experiences. It has something to offer every age group and every traveller. Awash with History and Heritage and an abundance of castles, gardens, museums, cathedrals and country houses set amid stunning coastline, picturesque market towns and traditional English villages.

Kent is not only the Garden of England but also its oldest county. Whether you want to go back to school with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, explore the Historic Dockyard at Chatham, wander through picturesque castles and gardens or spend your holiday taking in Kent's rolling hills and coastlines on foot, bicyle or horseback, there is an abundance of things to do and see to suit any taste and budget.


Ashford / Pluckley area

The sleepy countryside village of Pluckley is not only famous as the backdrop to the hugely successful H.E.Bates TV series “Darling Buds of May”, but also for its more ghostly inhabitants! Pluckley has earned the reputation of being the most haunted village in England (Guinness Book of Records 1998) and every year at Halloween tourists inundate the village hoping to see if they can have a supernatural experience of their own. Nevertheless the village remains unspoilt and picturesque with a warm welcome for anyone seeking a glimpse of the ‘perfick’ life.

Located just off the village square, the heart of the village, the Old Stables offers a taste of idyllic country living with a traditional butcher supplying meat from local farms along with homemade sausages and pies, a General Store/Post Office, a 900year old church and of course the quintessential pub. Nestling on the edge of the North Downs and the 'Andredsweald' (probably one of the oldest woodlands in England), Pluckley has excellent ‘away-from-it-all’ walks including the renowned Greensand Way and Pilgrims Way, leading directly from the village.

But there are so many other things to do and see in this beautiful and historic region. Magnificent castles, bewitching gardens, and the awe inspiring Canterbury Cathedral are all within easy reach. Point to point racing at Charing, gliding and light aircraft flying at Headcorn and golf at the famous Chart Hills course, will certainly appeal to sporting enthusiasts. Yet shopaholics are not forgotten with the McArthur Glen Outlet Centre nearby in Ashford and if you are feeling adventurous take the Eurostar from Ashford International Station and get that Parisian experience in under an hour! For retail therapy closer to home, or even a show, London is 75minutes from Pluckley station, reputed to be the oldest in the world!
