Kent is frequently referenced as the Garden of England and borders Sussex, Surrey, Greater London and Essex. The Countie’s population is over 1.6 million, making it the seventh most populated county in the UK.
Kent’s county town is Maidstone and there are, historically, also 2 cities in the county – Canterbury and Rochester. Canterbury is the home of the chief bishop of the Church of England – the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was first appointed in 597 by Pope Gregory the First. The Archbishop is at present Dr Rowan Williams.
Kent borders three major stretches of water – The River Thames, The North Sea and the English Channel. The most recognizable 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 always been used by ferries to transport people across the channel, and since 1994, people have been able to make the journey by train. On the 6th May 1994 was the opening date of the Channel Tunnel. Construction work had begun on the project in 1974, but the Labour Government stopped work on the project in 1975. The project then came back into action when the Conservative government came into power in 1979.
The major station used by the Eurostar, which travels through the Channel Tunnel, is Ashford, which is also in Kent. Ashford also lies next to the M20 Motorway and the River Great Stour.
The other major towns in Kent include Sevenoaks, Folkestone, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Dartford and Gravesend. Sevenoaks is a commuter town 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, though the word Royal is normally dropped from its title. Tunbridge Wells was voted the 3rd best place 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 planning to remodel its harbour as a marina.
Dartford houses the Dartford Crossing – 2 tunnels beneath the River Thames and one massive bridge over it, called the Queen Elizabeth the 2nd Bridge. The crossing is on the edge of Kent and Essex and creates part of the M25. The first tunnel was started during World War 2 and was finished in 1963; the bridge was opened in 1991. The bridge deals with southbound traffic, into Kent and the tunnels deal with northbound traffic, out of Kent.
