This southeastern county boasts towering cathedrals, historic castles, stunning seaside resorts, sleepy and quaint villages, and the dramatic white cliffs of Dover. Culture enthusiasts will love exploring the architecture and history of the castles at Hever, Leeds, and Walmer.

No trip to Kent is complete without visiting wineries and breweries such as Chapel Down and Shepherd Neame, which also offer tours. Clearly, there’s no dearth of things to see and do here, so why not stay like a local at one of the best barns for rent in Kent. Or better yet, take refuge in one of the picturesque cabins in the county. Check out the top cabin rentals in Kent, UK.
