Kent is often referred to as the Garden of England and is bordered by the counties of Sussex, Surrey, Greater London and Essex. Kent’s population is over 1.6 million, making it the 7th most inhabited region in the UK.
Kent’s county town is Maidstone and there are, historically, also 2 cities in the region – Canterbury and Rochester. Canterbury is where the chief Bishop of the Church of England is based – the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was originally appointed in 597 by Pope Gregory the First. The Archbishop is at present Dr Rowan Williams.
Loo Hire Kent borders three major expanses of water – The River Thames, The North Sea and the English Channel. One of the most famous landmarks in the UK is in Kent – the White Cliffs of Dover, which stunningly over look the Straits of Dover in the English Channel.
This stretch of water has constantly been used by ships to transport people across the channel, and since 1994, it has also been possible to make the journey by train. On the 6th May 1994 was the opening date of the Channel Tunnel. Construction work began on the project in 1974, but the Labour Government pulled the plug on the idea in 1975. The project then came back into action when the Conservative government came into governance in 1979
One of the major station used by the Eurostar, which travels through the Channel Tunnel, is Ashford, which is also in Kent. Ashford also sits next to the M20 Motorway and the River Great Stour.
Other major towns in Kent include Sevenoaks, Folkestone, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Dartford and Gravesend. Sevenoaks is a commuter region that is really close to London. Near to the town is Knole Park – which is a sanctuary to several million trees.
Tunbridge Wells is officially called Royal Tunbridge Wells, although the word Royal is normally dropped from its title. Tunbridge Wells was voted the third best area to have a home in the UK in 2006 on a Channel 4 TV programme called “Best and Worst Places to live” in 2006.
Folkestone is a seaside resort in Kent, which housed over 100,000 Belgium refugees during the Second World War and is now scheduling to remodel its harbour as a marina.
Dartford houses the Dartford Crossing – two tunnels beneath the River Thames and 1 huge bridge over it, called the Queen Elizabeth the 2nd Bridge. The crossing is on the edge of Kent and Essex and forms part of the M25. The 1st tunnel was started during World War 2 and was finished in 1963; the bridge was finished in 1991. The bridge provides for the southbound traffic, into Kent and the tunnels provides for the northbound traffic, out of Kent.
