  Kent evokes a flavour of history and romance with medieval churches, distinctive oast houses and rich agrarian land. Its proximity to London established the prosperity of the county and the evidence of this affluence can be seen in the many stately homes and mansions scattered around the county; of these Sissinghurst, Leeds and Chartwell feature in walks in this guide. Woods are also a prominent feature, including Perry Woods, Kings Wood, Hamstreet Woods, Twenty Acre Wood and Bedgebury Forest. These provide great opportunity for spotting a wide variety of flora and fauna, including the world's finest collection of conifers at Bedgebury.
