a way to enhance your romance
There are plenty of things to do in this charming county, including visiting historical structures such as castles and stately homes, or strolling through pristine gardens, hand in hand with the love of your life. A castle that is brilliant to visit is Leeds Castle, set in dreamy and idyllic surroundings, with a lake, 500 acres of stunning parkland, a maze and for the adrenaline junkie, Go Ape, where you can zip wire through wonderful forestry for an adventure of a lifetime!
If you and your partner love to visit stately homes then Penshurst Place and Gardens near Tonbridge is a lovely one to see. This beautiful manor house from the Tudor era features state rooms, tapestries, a toy museum and armour galleries, and with a gorgeous walled garden, much unchanged from the days when it was laid out over 650 years ago, it is an ideal place to visit for the day in Kent.
Those keen on museums then the Maidstone Museum and Bentlif Art Gallery in Maidstone is fascinating to visit. The museum has many artefacts on display including Japanese art to a 2,700 year old Egyptian mummy which are both incredible to see.
The Kent Downs are wonderful for an outdoor walk with your love. What could be more romantic than watching the sunset over the white cliffs near Dover or afternoon tea in a castle?
Kent is home to Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, countless gardens including Goodnestone Park Gardens, a favourite of author Jane Austen, and places to participate in wine tasting including at Biddenden Vineyards. It is a romantic county home to golden sandy beaches including those at Margate and Westbrook, and flowing rivers which are lovely to take walks by, stopping off for picnics and soaking up the beautiful atmosphere. Renting a cottage is a great idea for a last minute romantic break in Kent, where you can relax at your own pace and explore what this beautiful county has to offer its visitors.
