Faversham /ˈfævərʃəm/ is a market town and civil parish in the Swale district of Kent, England. The town is 48 miles from London and 10 miles from Canterbury and lies next to the Swale, a strip of sea separating mainland Kent from the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary.

The Faversham name is of Latin via Old English origin, meaning "the metal-worker's village".

We were holidaying in Kent with our two small children (18 months and 3 years) and looking for somewhere to spend the day away from the hustle and bustle of the beach. The day of our visit was a very hot one (temperatures topped 32 degrees in the afternoon) but there was plenty of shade to shelter from the heat. In the 10 acres of garden there was also amble space for the children to burn off some energy and they both enjoyed looking at the wide variety of plants and flowers. The Japanese rock garden was the perfect spot for a picnic, shaded by the towering acers and the sound of the stream made for a serene backdrop. All in all, it was a brilliant day and we would certainly have spent more than the 2-3 hours of our visit if it had not been so hot. In my opinion, the gardens compare to any of the RHS gardens I have visited previously which makes the entrance fee all the more reasonable (£7 for adults, free for under 4s and £2.50 for children 4 and over.) If you are in the area I would definitely recommend checking Mount Ephraim Gardens out - you won't regret it.
