A great little museum displaying the history of Kent firefighters since the 19th century. Tucked away in a small cabin at the back of the garden centre, very friendly curators keep watch over the items. From badges and insignia through to a mock up 1890s fire engine complete with horse drawn pump. Definitely Italy come and have a look around, its sure to peak anyone's interest.

First visit to this wildfowl reserve on a bright winters day . Lots to see and a lovely place being reclaimed by nature. Easy to follow signposted trails good for kids , aslong as they are quiet in the bird spotting hides. Circle walk not yet ready but will be a bonus when it's finished . Visitors centre is excellent . Carpark needs potholes sorting out . Great for all seasons visits saw lots of wild birds

If you like churches then definitely worth a look. Thomas Boleyn’s tomb is located in the church. My grandparents are located at the bottom of churchyard if you fancy doing some tidying !!!

We stumbled across this museum whilst walking around Edenbridge. It’s free and the history inside is unbelievable. Situated on two levels I have never seen so much local history in one place . It’s so intense that I will be trying to source more information from the internet and other sources. The guide on duty was very helpful and we left a generous donation when we left .

What a great place - lovely large park with a small lake and an area with a paddling pool and fountains. Best was picnicking in the main park itself and the miniature railway - the kids loved it and great value - all run volunteers. The paddling pool was very busy on the sunny day we went so be prepared for just how many people will be in this area around the paddling pool and cafe on a sunny day, but we found a space and the kids had fun splashing about! Well worth the trip, especially as it's free. Well done Swanley ???? Parking is cheap and other thing there that you can pay fur such as rowing boat, crazy golf and a small ropes course.
