Castle Museum in Kent

Advantages: Eclectic Museum set in pleasant grounds
Disadvantages: Not as good as nearby Hever Castle.

... Visitor Information Chiddingstone Castle is 5 miles from Edenbridge in Kent, between the two more famous historic attractions of the area, Hever Castle and Penshurst Place. Travelling by car, without a sat nav, we found it best to follow the signs to nearby Hever Castle on the major roads. As we got nearer, on the B2027, we followed the Chiddingstone signs. If you have a sat nav, you will need the postcode TN8 7AD. They are open Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from Easter until the last Sunday of September. Information about additional open days can be found in the What?s On Section of their website, which includes Halloween and Christmas events. Prices are £6 adults, £4 children aged 5-13, under 5s are free. There are also family and season tickets. History Exhibition rooms in the current...

Some fields in Kent

Advantages: Commonplace
Disadvantages: Rare

...that. It would also be a safer place - safer for the diversity of nature, and safer from our reliance on monoculture, on chemicals and on high energy inputs for our food production. We as a species are taking a gamble that all these things will be sustainable, even in the face of the changing climate that our numbers and activities engender, and it is a gamble that may well be lost. One of the values of places like Marden Meadow is that they remind us we should think about such things. What's more, there's no charge for entry, which makes it especially good value for money. If you feel you ought to be giving something back for your enjoyment of the place, you can always make a donation to Kent Wildlife Trust, which owns it. * Who's in charge * Kent Wildlife Trust is an independent charity dedicated to nature conservation in...

A - Z of Kent

Advantages: Totally comprehensive guide to Kent
Disadvantages: Although navigation is easy, the volume of information is enormous and to fully explore the whole site could take days

...www.kent.gov.uk is the official Kent County Council website. Not the sort of site you’d pick to browse if you’re looking for thrill a minute fun and excitement, but if you have an interest in Kent for any reason, be it from the point of view as a current or perspective resident, business person, or visitor, it is well worth a look..... “Welcome to Kent, the Gateway between the UK and Europe, and to Kent County Council's website. This is a new site and content will be regularly added and updated. We hope it gives you lots of information about Kent, Kent County Council and its services.” The home page is visually plain and simple, displaying the short greeting message (above), in basic black arial font on a crisp white background. The main category headings of the site are displayed, in bold red font...

Chartwell House, Kent - Home of Churchill

Advantages: Fascinating house, lovely gardens, easy to find
Disadvantages: A bit pricy for a family

...Chartwell House in Kent is most famous for being the home of Winston Churchill and as such acts as a museum and shrine to his life and works. However, it is set in an extremely beautiful location with wonderful gardens and gorgeous views that are a pleasure in their own right and a good guide as to why Churchill himself loved the place so much and why he spent the majority of his life there. The entire site has been owned and run by the National Trust for a number of years and in terms of facilities and general quality is pretty much what you'd expect. On with the details. ############################### # Getting There ############################### Chartwell House is open all year except Dec 25th and is near Westerham, Kent. The National trust website gives useful notes on getting there by road, rail, bike, bus...

Kent Marine Salt

Advantages: Dissolves quickly, good trace elements, no waste products left
Disadvantages: Bags are difficult to re-seal when opened

...Kent Marine is one of the leading names in marine aquaria. They make a variety of products to help marine fishkeeperes to improve and simplify their set ups. Kent?s salt is becoming one of the most popular in this country. It is aimed for fish only or reef systems, and contains extra calcium, strontium, iodine and many trace elements which are all exceptionally useful for reef tanks. These products also make it one of the best for marine keepers that use reverse osmosis water, as it replaces the important elements. This salt contains no traces of phosphate, ammonia, nitrite or nitrate. It gives a pH of 8.4 and dissolves very quickly. Calcium and Magnesium levels are very high which helps corals in an invert system to grow at their maximum . I have been using this salt throughout my marine fishkeeping experience and have...

Kent fault the day at all!

Advantages: met new people, and some that I'd met before
Disadvantages: got up at 7.30am...

...On a leary Zeterday, a mort of fellowly foreigners came a limb-of-a-way to run agin a parcel of reemer men of kent and kentish men. Wus a plum pleasant day, helving with jawsies and jokesies, and nabbling while filling the parish oven with a dossett (or a cantell) of the local Spitfire. I be properly pleased that I went to the first meet to-year. Or, for those of you who do not posess a copy of "Kentish as she wus spoke" by Alan Major: On an overcast Saturday, an large number of companionable non-Kentish visitors came a considerable distance to meet up with a number of excellent inhabitants of the county of Kent. It was a very pleasant day, gossiping with chatterboxes and witty people, and holding idle conversation while filling our mouths with a small dose (or an indefinite number!) of the local Spitfires. I am thoroughly pleased...

Kent's very reliable savings account

Advantages: High tax free, interest rate. Very efficient
Disadvantages: Old passbook style account.

...I have been looking on the market for months now for a competitive, tax free mini cash ISA account. My own bank could not offer me much in the way of a competitive interest rate and so I looked further. I read the Which magazine every month and I had noticed that Kent Reliance Building Society appeared in their most recommended tax free savings every month! I always expected that the big high street names would offer the best rates and so I was weary about a little building society in kent whom I had never heard of! At the time when I applied to going interest rate was 4.4% APR (tax free) and so I accessed their website www.krbs.co.uk and I was very impressed with how professional it looked and how informative it was. It told me everything I needed to know about all their available accounts and it also enabled me to download...

Shop till you drop and beyond

Advantages: Suits every type of shopper
Disadvantages: So many shops so little time

...This opinion is probably a bit useless for many readers as it is specific to Kent, but if anyone is travelling to France by car, let me tell you of the best shopping mall you can visit before making the final drive down to Folkestone or Dover. It is called BLUEWATER!! Now, some people will never like shopping malls, with loads of people and screaming kids, but this opinion is not for them. This opinion is for people who enjoy the art of shopping (window or otherwise), and to give my impression of this strange shopping experience. Background info: Gravesend is set on the Thames estuary. It is an industrial town with a very diverse community. Pocahontas is buried there having been brought to Britain and then dying of a cold, but unfortunately for the town hit badly by the eighties recession, Disney chose not to mention...

Review of Bluewater (Kent)

A Much Better Season

Advantages: Well disciplined and improving side
Disadvantages: Lack depth in the bowling attack

...The recent win over Lancashire has propelled Kent up to 3rd in the County Championship behind the 2 Roses counties. The team finished just one place above relegation last season having been handicapped by the loss of England bowler Dean Headley and Julian Thompson. That Headley has now had to retire is a sad blow not just for English cricket but for him personally. It is another example though of a promising test bowler not staying fit enough to make an impact. Last season it was Rahul Dravid who was the overseas player making a bagful of runs. Dravid is busy playing for India against the West Indies so this year Darryl Cullinan was signed to flail the county attacks instead. He though is not playing and Australian Andy Symonds has taken his place. The team is captained by Matthew Fleming of the investment banking family. Fleming has...
