3 B R I E F H I S T O R Y O F K E N T app. AD43... The full might of the Roman army landed on the beaches in Kent. Many sites of the Roman invasion still exist in Kent, such as the Roman Villa at Lullingstone Saint Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. Augustine is considered the founder of the English church Thomas Becket was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral and was later made a saint Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton was instrumental in the signing of the Magna Carta Geoffrey Chaucer began writing his most famous works, The Canterbury Tales Anne Boleyn (King Henry VIII's second wife) was born, and grew up at the family home in Kent, Hever Castle The River Medway went up in flames as the Dutch invaded England during the Battle of Medway Shepherd Neame (Britain's oldest brewer) was founded and its brewery opened in Faversham, Kent Charles Dickens' seaside home, over looking Viking Bay in Broadstairs, was the inspiration for Bleak House and Rochester inspired many more works Vice-Admiral Bertram Ramsay organised the extraordinary evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk from the Napoleonic tunnels at Dover Castle The Royal Navy Dockyard at Chatham closed. The Historic Dockyard, Chatham opened Britain's first high speed rail network launched. Domestic passengers are now able to reach London from Kent in just 20 minutes from Ebsfleet International 3 2
4 W H Y K E N T? Kent, the Garden of England, is the jewel of the South East. Nestled between London and the continent, Kent is world renowned for its rural beauty, rich heritage, spectacular coastline, and artistic heart. Here you will discover the White Cliffs of Dover, staggering castles and cathedrals, award-winning vineyards, unspoiled villages, and culture-rich cities. Benefitting from the fastest domestic & international rail links in the country (just 38 minutes from central London), Kent is the perfect destination for day trips and short-breaks and offers a wealth of options for longer stays. Choose from luxury hotels, cosy pubs, safari lodges or cliff-top teepees. Whether you want to explore modern art galleries or historic landmarks, find a romantic retreat or enjoy a fun-filled family break, laze in a luxury spa or learn to surf Kent has it all. There are few places where London is so close, and yet feels so far away. The world drinks our wine, blockbusters are filmed on our shores, and history was made on our soil. 4
5 WHERE IS KENT? Kent is located in the southeast corner of England, just outside of London and on the edge of the English Channel. Access to Kent is easy with Southeastern Railway's high speed rail links direct from central London (38mins to Ashford, 57mins to Canterbury), or by car via the M20 or M2. The county also has enviable fast links to mainland Europe via The Port of Dover, Channel Tunnel Folkestone, and Eurostar (Ashford & Ebbsfleet), and has good access to London Heathrow and London Gatwick. Kent is an easy day-trip for Londoners or international visitors in the capital, and is an excellent short break destination for those wanting to experience England's countryside, coast and cultural cities. It is ideally placed for visits from France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. London Kent

8 W H A T ' S N E W I N ? Campaigns Year of Literary Heroes A national campaign led by VisitEngland, in recognition of the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen s death and 20 years since the first Harry Potter book, to name just two milestone events. Kent is already well established as a literary destination, with the famous and the infamous drawing inspiration from the county - and leaving their mark on various towns and villages. Bespoke itineraries and private tours around Kent's literary famous faces (Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, Ian Fleming and more) are available throughout the year. Gardens & Gourmet - In 2017, Visit Kent will launch a new bookable product encouraging international visitors to explore the excellent gardens and gourmet offer in the Garden of England. Gardens & Gourmet is supported by the Discover England Fund (DEF), and aims to inspire international visitors from Germany, the Netherlands and USA to experience our outstanding gardens and superb local restaurants, cafes, vineyards and breweries. It will do this through a new visitor pass and new Digital Local Guides that will arm visitors with information only locals would know. The campaign will go live early spring for travel during Anniversaries 350th Anniversary of the Battle of Medway (June 2017) - This year marks the 350th anniversary of the Battle of Medway - a significant battle for both Kent and the Netherlands and a spectacular series of activities and exhibitions has been planned for the Medway towns. The campaign will truly showcase Kent s role in maritime history and will extend a warm welcome to Dutch tourists, and we are working closely with our partners in Medway to ensure more European visitors discover Kent in this important anniversary year. 200th anniversary of death of Jane Austen (July 2017) - This world-renowned author had numerous connections to Kent, including Godmersham Park, Tonbridge and Goodnestone Park mansion which can now be rented out as a luxury home for up to 24 guests, following an extensive renovation. In line with 2017 s Year of Literary Heroes, Kent will be promoting various anniversary events throughout the year, and pushing press visits to experience Jane Austen s Kent further. 8

This year marks 400 years since her death, and Gravesend will be hosting numerous events to honour the anniversary including commemorative parades, riverside tours, and musical performances. New New Tasting Rooms at Chapel Down Winery - Kent s award-winning vineyard Chapel Down is expanding for The winery s offices and production have now moved to allow room for a brand new 80 seat tasting room at the vineyard, allowing them to double the number of people on tours from 100 to 200 per day. A brilliant new venue to experience the true tastes of Kent! The Winery have also exchanged contracts on a 1.6 acre site in Ashford town centre for the development of a brewery for their fast-growing beer and cider business, Curious Drinks. Memorial to Geoffrey Chaucer - A 10ft bronze statue of Geoffrey Chaucer author of The Canterbury Tales was installed and unveiled in Canterbury city centre in October The statute overlooks the former pilgrims way (now the city s pedestrianised high street) where thousands of medieval travellers took the final steps of their journey from London to Canterbury Cathedral. The statue has been commissioned by Canterbury Commemoration Society to celebrate the author s genius and links to Canterbury. The plinth (in the shape of a horse s hoof) depicts the pilgrims described in The Canterbury Tales, some of which have been updated to resemble the project s donors, including Canterbury-raised actor Orlando Bloom. Copper Rivet Distillery Raise a glass or two of Medway s finest spirits at the brand new Copper Rivet Distillery, situated at the Historic Dockyard, Chatham. Take a tour and experience the entire distillation process from grain to glass. Enjoy a taste of Medway, experience a botanicals masterclass, and have a go at distilling your own gin. 9
