Folkestone or
Dover, Maidstone has something that is bound to be of interest to you. Maidstone is a town full of History and has some free attractions as well as paid for attractions such as Leeds Castle.

the Malta Inn, the boats leave from just underneath the

The Archbisops Palace is a beautiful building that dominates the river opposite the County Court, it is used for Weddings and Civil Partnerships and people travel from all over Kent to get married here due to its' beautiful setting.
