Kent

Kent is the most south-easterly county of England, known as the Garden of England for its orchards, hop gardens, and fruit farms that flourish in its relatively warm and sunny climate. The county's geography is shaped by the North Downs chalk ridge, the fertile Weald, and the low-lying Romney Marsh. Its position as the closest point to continental Europe means it has a rich history of invasion, defence, and cross-Channel trade, evidenced by the medieval fortifications at Dover Castle and the remains of Richborough Roman fort. Canterbury, with its famous cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, is the county town and ecclesiastical capital of the Church of England.
