Gardens of Kent Tour

United Kingdom, EUROPE

The second of our garden tours, this Kent based tour is a short 4 day tour and a perfect ‘add on’ to other destinations. This tour is focussed on the House and Garden’s of Kent which is known as the Garden County of England.

3 Nights and 4 Days

Inland the Cilento is largely undisturbed by the 21st century and we cycle through quaint fishing villages where the traditional way of life is still very evident. There is a wild kind of beauty here from the dramatic coast to the rocky ridges towering above it and an abundance of flora, including Aleppo pines, myrtle, prickly pear and ancient olive groves.
