South East England is England at its best! From Kent,
the ‘Garden of England’ to the breathtaking Dorset Heritage
Coast and the Isle of Wight to the mellow Oxfordshire villages, the South
East of England provides the perfect mix - quaint villages, rolling countryside,
dramatic coastline, seaside chic and heritage cities. Choose from rural
tranquillity, city sightseeing, invigorating coastlines and seaside fun
for a break with great variety.
There are dozens of gardens to visit in the South East,
which brim with unforgettable pleasures, from the world famous Sissinghurst
and romantic Nymans, or Cliveden overlooking the River Thames near Maidenhead
to the Savill Garden in Windsor Great Park or exotic Leonardslee, near
Horsham.

History has left a trail of magnificent buildings from
all eras, Fishbourne Roman Palace, 12th-century Canterbury Cathedral and
wonderful castles such as Leeds Castle in Kent or Windsor Castle, the
Official Residence of Her Majesty The Queen.
You are never far from the coast and its associated maritime
heritage. The Historic Dockyard at Chatham covers 400 years of maritime
history while Portsmouth is the site of Henry VIII's ship the Mary Rose,
Admiral Lord Nelson's HMS Victory and HMS Warrior.
It’s easy to escape the crowds here, visit the Oxfordshire
Cotswolds famed for its thatched stone cottages, or walk high up on the
North and South Downs or the Surrey Hills - it’s well worth the
effort!
So close to London, this region of history and heritage,
coast and countryside awaits your discovery!
