Two walkers walking across the beach at Botany Bay, Kent

Kent is a paradise for nature lovers, home to some of England’s most spectacular landscapes, diverse wildlife habitats and breathtaking coastal scenery. With more than 350 miles of coastline, the county offers an exceptional mix of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, salt marshes and estuaries that provide vital habitats for birds, marine life and rare plant species. From the iconic White Cliffs of Dover to the wild beauty of Romney Marsh and the Isle of Sheppey, Kent’s coast is a haven for wildlife watching and outdoor exploration.

The county is also home to two National Landscapes, the Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape, where rolling hills, ancient woodlands and traditional orchards create some of the UK's most cherished countryside. These protected landscapes offer countless opportunities to spot native wildlife while enjoying scenic walks, cycling routes and peaceful nature escapes.
