The streets of Tenterden feature Victorian houses and quintessential British cottages. Alongside its tree-lined greenery through the centre of its High Street, this is truly a magical part of the country.

In addition to the captivating sights of the High Street, another excellent place to visit for fans of history and architecture is the nearby Grade-11 listed Small hythe Place. Constructed in the early 16th century and cared for by The National Trust, this half-timbered house was once home to the Shakesperaren actress Ellen Terry. It now features her theatre collection, alongside sprawling gardens and orchards.

Of course, fans of all things nostalgic should be sure to plan a visit to the Kent & East Sussex Railway. This railway stretches for 10.5 miles and was the first light railway constructed.
