Maidstone car hire

It's worth investing in car hire; Maidstone is well placed for explorations of Kent and further afield...

Traditional seaside towns; cliff-top rambles; cobbled streets that meander through ancient cities; caves; castles; gardens; nature reserves; and a trail that follows in the footsteps of 007 himself, James Bond: Kent's garden is overflowing with prize blooms and there is no need to leave this county to enjoy a terrific holiday.

The beaches on the north-east corner of Kent prove to be very popular with visitors. From the pebbles and fresh oysters of Whitstable, through busy Margate and down to Deal, where fishing boats line the beach, there's a special coastal spot for every kind of tourist. 

The city of Canterbury is a must-see during visits to Kent and it takes only 40 minutes to drive from Maidstone to this historic and beautiful destination. Crowds flock to the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Canterbury, which has been recognised for its important role as the cradle of English Christianity. The site includes the always impressive Canterbury Christchurch Cathedral, as well as St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church. 

The iconic and much-photographed White Cliffs of Dover can be seen in less than an hour from Maidstone. Visit Dover Castle while you are in the area to create an unforgettable day trip. 

Bond author Ian Fleming visited England's garden often as he owned a beach house here. He littered his books with mentions of Kent and there are many ways to explore the literary connections to the county.
