Kent offers a wealth of green and gentile countryside surrounded by views out to sea and the busy shipping lanes. The French coast is visible on most days. Being the closest county to the continent, Kent links much of its history to European events, both ancient and recent. The city of Canterbury is a must-see. Our base is the stylish Best Western Clifton Hotel in Folkestone. It is located 100 yards from the top of the Lower Leas Coastal Park and is a few minutes walk from the town centre and the historic harbour and charming Old High Street. All floors are accessed via lift and all rooms are en-suite and well furnished. Half board throughout.
