The county of Kent sits in southeast England, bordering Sussex, Surrey, and Greater London and is home to the cities of Rochester and Canterbury. Kent is home to Dover, Hever and Leeds Castle, the famous White Cliffs of Dover, Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey, and Rochester Castle among other fantastic English historical sites. For a day trip, visit East Sussex to the west of Kent, London to the North, or trek over the channel to France, Belgium, or The Netherlands, all of which are accessible from this area. Manston-Kent International Airport (MSE) offers service to the county of Kent and is situated in the District of Thanet 20 kilometres to the northeast of the city of Canterbury. London Southend flights are located just 51 kilometres north of Kent at Southend-on-Sea.
