    I’ve lived in Kent all my life and I can say that there are some very pretty towns and villages. The same goes for East Sussex, West Sussex and I’m sure most counties. However, none of the towns shown is without its bad sides. Tenterden High Street has undergone changes with too many nice shops closing and too many charity shops taking their place. Much the same for Cranbrook which also suffers from some very average housing estates around the centre.
    I would have picked Deal because it is so relatively unspoilt. It is old fashioned and has gone through tough times but it seems to have changed as little as it can over the last 50 years.

    I enjoyed this one and have worked at several of the towns you feature. You mentioned Tunbridge Wells seemed like two towns. Well, you're not far wrong. I worked there for many years for a High Street bank which had two branches, one at each end of the main Mount Pleasant/Mount Pleasant Road. These were divided by Church Road and it was always said that traditionally, the area south of Church Road had the 'Carriage Trade' customers i.e. the posher end, and north of Church Road the less salubrious clientele. I won't comment on that, but the south side customers were certainly more genteel and were rather better off!

    Having spent the first 18 years of my life on the SouthEastern coast of Kent, I was pretty shocked to realise how little I knew of the rest. My parents moved to Tenterden so I know that and Tunbridge Wells pretty well, with Sandwich and Canterbury from before, but not having a car myself little exploring beyond was possible. I missed a good many beautiful places. Perhaps a holiday from my home in Gloucestershire, which I know really well, is in order.

The quaint English pubs with good food and local ales have largely been replaced with pretentious gastro chains and cut and paste menus and the high streets are dead.

Hop Festival, Literary Festival, Midnight Feast, 40s day, Medieval Market day, Open Faversham, Open Gardens and more. At the monthly antiques market today, we had the pleasure of re-enactors mingling and educating the crowd. We have our Magna Carta now displayed with other charters in the Tourist information centre. A museum in the Fleur de Lys building, a swimming pool with an outdoor pool, diving boards and lazy river plus a lovely cinema. There’s so much history here including the pub where Nelson paid his sailors, the Maison Dieu and the Gunpowder Mill. Faversham is on a creek from which there are lots of lovely walks. So yeah, Faversham has its problems like many other towns but it’s still a great place to live.

    Being a Tunbridge Wells resident I'm watching to see how high we place. I would say youre right about it as the town is largely touristy around the Pantiles but fairly typical once you head towards the shopping centre

      I'm surprised the brewery wasn't mentioned especially as it's the oldest in the country or maybe it is because of the stink that permeates the air sometimes in the summer that's why it wasn't mentioned?
