Kent is one of the counties of South East England. It covers 3,736 sq km (1,442 sq mi) and has a population of 1.7 million people (2011 estimate).

Kent borders East Sussex, Surrey and Greater London, and faces Essex across the estuary of the River Thames. The county is often called the Garden of England, as it has numerous orchards and hop gardens. Due to its proximity to continental Europe, Kent is often the springboard for Britain when sending warships into battle.

The county of Kent is on the southeastern part of England. It is bordered by a few bodies of water including the River Thames and the North Sea to the north, and the Straits of Dover and the English Channel to the south. The cliffs at Dover are of white chalk ridge known as the North Downs.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
