Places to visit in Kent and Sussex

In terms of places to visit in Kent and Sussex, there are more castles, stately homes and gardens open to the public than any other area of the country. Added to that, there are numerous museums, galleries, steam railways, vineyards and much more to add to your list of what to do in Kent in Sussex. Include some of the big names such as Leeds Castle, Hever Castle, Chartwell, and the gardens at Great Dixter and Sissinghurst Castle on your itinerary and add a few of the less well known gardens, such as Pashley Manor, Emmetts and Scotney Castle to create a visit full of variety.

Discover medieval castles such as those at Bodiam and Tonbridge, and popular family attractions such as Kent Life, the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway - and even two wild animal parks in the heart of the Kent countryside at Howletts and Port Lympne. And for the adults, how about sampling some award winning wines produced at Chapel Down Winery?

The Seven Wonders of the Weald are a group of visitor attractions located in the beautiful High Weald along the Kent and East Sussex border, and all within a short distance of one another offering variety and interest for visitors, including Biddenden Vineyard, Chiddingstone Castle, Bedgebury National Pinetum & Forest, Marle Place Gardens, the Kent & East Sussex Railway and Penshurst Place.

And don’t forget some of the fascinating towns and villages in the Garden of England when deciding where to go in Kent – including Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tenterden, Cranbrook and Westerham. And in Sussex, try Rye and Battle  – full of history and interest.
