Set on a hilltop with amazing views of the surrounding countryside from its tower, St Mary's Church is a landmark visible from miles around. The first record of a church in Goudhurst comes from 1119. Over the centuries the church was enlarged and extended until it became the present-day church. Until 1637, the church's tower was topped by an 115ft high tower. However, in that year the spire was hit by lightning and the spire and tower were destroyed. Inside, the church is full of the monuments and memorials to local dignitaries. A beautiful church it is well worth a visit.

The first Church of England, this historic gothic-style cathedral dates back to 597, which served as a rich and powerful monastery of Benedictine monks in the 12th century.

Visited to explore the grounds and the interior, booked one of the local guides to take us on tour and this added such a nice insight into the history and fabric of the magnificent building. 100% enjoyable and well worth the charge, its a must for anyone visiting this part of the UK.

If you are exploring the Canterbury World Heritage Site, this is a must. Queen Bertha of Kent was a Frankish Princess. Her pagan husband gave her permission to follow her religion in an abandoned Roman church, which is integrated in the structure of this fascinating building. You can follow her daily walk out through the City Walls. Her husband was soon converted with the arrival of Augustine in Kent.

Growing in Christ since AD 604. This is England's second oldest cathedral. We are home to the Textus Roffensis, the only existing copy of the first code of English Law. Dating from 604 AD, this is the second-oldest cathedral in England.

Rochester Cathedral is such an interesting place to visit. It is full of history and has lots of information to read and learn about it's past. Even though it is a very popular tourist attraction in the area you ca always find a quiet space to sit and be with your own thoughts. The ladies chapel and the gardens are a favourite place of mine & my husband's to just sit quietly, light a candle and escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The team of volunteers are brilliant, very friend and always happy to help or talk about the cathedrals rich history. There is a great programme of events throughout the year, they are very popular so best to book tickets. The refurbished vaults are very impressive and a great space to have a coffee.
