Things to Know About UK
Kent, often dubbed ‘The Garden of England,’ is a historically rich county in the Southeast, renowned for its lush countryside, fruit orchards, and countless magnificent castles like Leeds Castle and Hever Castle. It is also home to the historic city of Canterbury, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its iconic Canterbury Cathedral.
Due to its proximity to London, life in Kent is a blend of traditional rural charm and metropolitan influence, yet it steadfastly maintains its deep historical identity. The British people, and those in Kent in particular, are known for their politeness and subtle sense of humor, while also placing high value on punctuality.
