What makes Kent unique;

1. The Garden of England
   Kent is often referred to as "The Garden of England" due to its abundant orchards and hop gardens. This picturesque landscape is particularly known for its fruit production, especially apples and cherries.

2. Historical Significance
   Kent has played a pivotal role in Britain's history. It was the frontline of several invasions, including the Roman invasion in 43 AD and the Norman invasion of 1066. Canterbury Cathedral in Kent is where Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered in 1170, an event that shook the Christian world.

3. White Cliffs of Dover
   One of Kent's most iconic landmarks is the White Cliffs of Dover. These striking white chalk cliffs facing the English Channel have significant symbolic value in Britain, often associated with defense and wartime resilience.

4. Canterbury Cathedral
   A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England. It is the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the Church of England and the global Anglican Communion.

5. The Battle of Britain
   During World War II, the skies over Kent were the primary battleground for the Battle of Britain. The county was known as "Hellfire Corner" during the war due to the heavy aerial bombardment it received.

6. Chatham Dockyard
   For over 400 years, the Historic Dockyard Chatham was a vital naval facility. Many of the Royal Navy’s ships were built here, playing a significant role in Britain’s maritime history.

7. Kentish Oast Houses
