The South East England / Kent region

South East England is one of the nine official regions of England, designated in 1994 and adopted for statistics in 1999. Its boundaries include Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Sussex. In common usage, however, the area referred to as the 'south east' can vary considerably. The headquarters for the region's governmental bodies are in Guildford. The largest city in the region (by population) is Brighton and Hove.

The Tenterden area

Tenterden is known as "The Jewel Of The Weald", and with good reason. It's wide, light, bright and lined with broad bands of grass and trees separating pedestrians from the roadway, while the shops, restaurants and pubs are housed in historic buildings, many with their original facades and Wealden weatherboarding. Tenterden has above average shopping with many independents selling original merchandise and fashion.

Tenterden was formerly at the centre of the wool trade and later the broadcloth manufacturing industry. Today, it has something for everyone, from golf courses, a leisure centre and trout-fishing lakes to vineyards (Chapel Down Winery being the biggest producer of wines in England), a local history museum and an old-fashioned steam-train rail service that wends its way from Tenterden through acres of beautiful countryside to Bodiam.

"What a wonderful holiday we all had in your lovely cottage made all the more special by "Holly". She made us all laugh at her attempts to catch the rabbits and her frequent visits for her "Iced Gems". We shall recommend your cottage to our family and friends and hope to see you all again next year"
Lidia, Tricia, Helena and Grace.

"We liked our stay in the cottage very much. Nice to see the young rabbits on the grass and Holly, when she came to say "Hello". The last days the wind turned, so Shirah could fly the kite in the meadow. That was a big pleasure."
