Kent
Featured Self-Catering Accommodation
Kent was originally one of
the kingdoms of the Jutes, although its name derives from one of the Celtic
tribes of Britain, the Cantiaci. As the closest part of England to the
continent of Europe (it is just 12 miles from Dover to Calais), it has
historically been the focal point for invasion attempts, and is traditionally
the major embarkation point for travel to mainland Europe.
Due to the extensive agriculture,
orchards and hop farms, Kent is known as the "Garden of England", a fact
reflected in the new car registration plates - the letter representing
Kent is "G" for "Garden" rather than "K" for "Kent".
