Kent , originally
Cantia, is a
county in southeast
England, and is one of the
home counties. It borders
East Sussex,
Surrey and
Greater London and has a defined boundary with
Essex in the middle of the
River Thames estuary. The
ceremonial county boundaries of Kent include the
shire county of Kent and the
unitary borough of
Medway. Kent has a nominal border with
France halfway through the
Channel Tunnel.
Maidstone is its
county town and historically
Rochester and
Canterbury have been accorded
city status, though only the latter still holds it.

The White horse of Kent, or the White Horse Rampant, is a symbol of Kent, a county in South East England.
Kent's place as the Garden of England stems back over 400 years. The title is believed to date back to Henry VIII's time when he is said to have greatly enjoyed a dish of Kent cherries. Henry was certainly fond of fruit and was personally responsible for many orchards being established in Kent, whose blossoms still contribute to the garden-like aspect of our county.
The gardens of Kent today are not only amongst the most popular attractions in Kent, but are also amongst some of the most renowned gardens in England.
I love the bookmarks from a variety of garden, Thanks very much for this, Richard :)
