Kent, one of the Home Counties, is sometimes referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ because of its abundance of orchards and hop gardens. Large parts of the county are within the London commuter belt, whereas South and East Kent rely on tourism and agriculture.
The county town is Maidstone and other significant towns include Canterbury, Dover, Gillingham, Tunbridge Wells and Rocester. Situated in the southeast corner of England, Kent is an easy place to get to whether you're travelling by road, rail or air. Once you arrive you'll find an excellent road network and reliable local rail and bus services, as well as hundreds of miles of waymarked walking and cycling routes.
Kent is steeped in history and heritage; its extensive coastline boasts an envious array of blue flag award winning beaches. France can be seen clearly in fine weather from Folkestone, along with the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, whilst its other iconic landmarks include Canterbury Cathedral and Leeds Castle.
If you are looking for a nursing, residential or respite care home in this quintessentially English county, then there are a wide range available, along with those that specialise in dementia or mental health care. Whether you choose care accommodation with attractions on the doorstep, or get away from it all by the seaside or heart of the countryside, you'll enjoy your time in this glorious county.
