Kent

Kent extends across 3,738 square kilometers between London and the English Channel, featuring both coastal areas and inland agricultural regions.

The territory became one of the first British regions settled by Germanic tribes after the Roman withdrawal, establishing the Kingdom of Kent in the 5th century.

Canterbury Cathedral stands as England's oldest cathedral and remains the principal seat of the Anglican Church since the 6th century conversion to Christianity.

The county contains twelve administrative districts and maintains direct train connections to London through multiple rail services departing from major towns.

The White Cliffs of Dover form natural chalk walls along the coast, marking the closest point between England and continental Europe.
