Elham is a lovely traditional village, with shops, several restaurants, two pubs and a medieval church in a square – an ideal base for a visit to Kent. There is open countryside in every direction with a host of wonderful walks right from your door.

Within six miles is the stunning medieval city of Canterbury with an excellent shopping centre, two theatres and of course the World Heritage Site of the Cathedral and St Augustine's Abbey, not to mention the charming medieval houses, river trips down the river that winds through the city and even a ghost walking tour!

Elham is just 10 minutes drive from the Channel Tunnel entrance, for a day trip to France, and is close to Howletts and Port Lympne animal zoo parks. For further ideas please look at the ‘Holiday Information' section on our website.
