Where To Visit During Easter Holidays In Kent

Kent is one of the most popular holiday destinations for British families, with the county boasting a wide range of historical sights and beautiful landscapes. What’s more, its close proximity to London means holidaymakers can enjoy a day or two in the capital before retreating to their comfortable caravan.

Explore Kent’s historic railway line on a four-mile round trip through the picturesque countryside. You will see the quaint villages of Shepherdswell and Eythorne, as well as travel beneath the Golgotha Tunnel.

This is a great way for kids to explore the countryside without getting their legs tired, and children can travel over the Easter weekend for just £2.

Visit one of the most spectacular fortresses in England by heading to Dover Castle during the Medieval Easter Weekend. As well as being able to learn about 1,000 years of British history at the great bastion, children can get a taste of what life used to be like here with live re-enactments taking place between Friday March 30th and Monday April 2nd.
