Sheerness - The "Capital" of Sheppey, Pepys came here and this is where they brought Nelson's body after Trafalgar.. Walk around Bluetown, and you may witness something quite strange? As Bluetown is named after the old habit of occupants decorating their homes with the blue paint they pinched from their employer, the Admiralty. The curved high street has a quite distinctive clock, and as you stroll you can sense its history.

Smallhythe Place, Tenterden, Kent

 This half-timbered late-15th century farmhouse was the country retreat of the great Shakespearean actress Dame Ellen Terry from 1899 until her death here in 1928.  She first saw the house in the company of Henry Irving, the manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London's Covent Garden, with whom she shared a famous theatrical partnership for nearly 24 years.

Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens

Built in the 16 century, Sissinghurst Castle is a moated Tudor house that was left to fall into disrepair. Then, in 1930 Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson took over what was left of the building, and over the years they lovingly restored the house and the gardens. Sissinghurst Castle is now world-renowned for its gardens, that are not to be missed at any time of the year. Here you will see the famous series of small, enclosed gardens, each with its own colour scheme.

Sissinghurst Castle Garden, now the property of the National Trust, lies in the Weald of Kent, 2 miles from Cranbrook.

In the grounds can be seen the Oast House (with exhibition) and the Elizabethan Barn.
