Here are some pictures of some of the wonderful Kentish Harvest: apples, hops and grapes from The Garden of England!

Kent is home to Canterbury Cathedral; The White Cliffs of Dover; Chartwell, home of Sir Winston Churchill; Hever Castle, home to King Henry VIII’s second wife Anne Boleyn and Vita Sackville West’s Sissinghurst Gardens, to name just a few of our beautiful and historic county’s ‘must see’ sights.

Designed to put the wind up

Posted on June 8, 2012 by | Comments Off

A 108ft sRoy the Redeemer statue on the White Cliffs of Dover.tatue of Roy Hodgson is scheduled to  return to the White Cliffs of Dover after a little local difficulty with high winds.

The fantastic statue is a new take on the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro.

‘Roy the Redeemer’ needs to be in place soon if it is going to do its job of   unsettling ‘Les Bleus’ ahead of England’s opening football game on Monday. Once in place it will be easily visible from the French coast.

The stunt by bookies Paddy Power is to promote the new England manager as he takes his team into this month’s European Football Championships. According to the bookmakers, the artwork is intended to give manager Roy ‘divine intervention’.

Roy has close connections to Kent – he has worked with Gravesend and Northfleet, Tonbridge Angels, Ashford Town and Maidstone United.

Fair Stood the Wind for France, or should it be against!

Thanksgiving Holiday Greetings from Kent, The Garden of England to all our Kentish friends across the United States of America in Kent County, Rhode Island; Kent County, Delaware; Kent County, Maryland; Kent County, Texas; Kent County, Michigan and Kent County, Virginia. 

Based in Kent, England, South East Tour Guides look forward to welcoming you to our own very special County of Kent (The former Anglo Saxon Kingdom of Kent)  in the UK.  

Kent is home to Canterbury Cathedral; The White Cliffs of Dover; Chartwell, home of Sir Winston Churchill; Hever Castle, home to King Henry VIII’s second wife Anne Boleyn and Vita Sackville West’s Sissinghurst Gardens, to name just a few of our beautiful and historic county’s ‘must see’ sights.

Kent fact of the day: The River Kent is nowhere near Kent, England.  It is some 300 miles to the north-west of The UK in Cumbria.
