With so many destinations to visit in England, it may be hard to decide where to explore first. Don’t be. Stop and see Kent, a picturesque county in the city of Canterbury and stay there for a couple of days. The county is among the oldest in England, and is known for its houses with roofs in the shape of pyramid as well as castles. Make a stop at Leeds Castle and admire its stunning architecture and the view of River Len right in front of it. Another famous landmark to marvel at is Canterbury Cathedral, one of the oldest churches in the country. Be sure to also enjoy a stroll in the idyllic gardens of Sissinghurst Castle. For the ultimate vacation, glamping is recommended. Keep reading to learn about the best glamping spots in Kent, the UK.
