Kent
Kent is quite a big place when your here not if you look at a map. Named the 'Garden of England' kent can be a very special place with WW1 and WW2 places to beaches and cliff walks, to shopping and places to eat.
With key towns and cities located on the map above there are still lots of little villages in between. Mainly consisting of a little pub or a community the villages can be hard to get to if not on a public transport route or you have no transport yourself. Some you can walk to with ease some not so much.
The map above is a medieval style map of Kent a little more interesting for the eye.
