Local Attractions and Interest

Whilst the Boat House enjoys a private and peaceful setting, it is within just a very short drive to the M20 motorway resulting in good access to attractions and places of interest.  For those guests wishing to explore further a field there are very good connections to either the Ashford Eurostar train or Folkestone Euro tunnel allowing easy access to France. London is approximately one hour away by car. Listed below are just a few of the many local attractions plus internet sites for the local surrounding areas and some of the information that you might need from eating out to the local churches of Kent:

Bewl Water, Chatham Historic Dockyard, Chislehurst Caves, Dover Castle, Groombridge Place Gardens, Hever Castle, Ightham Mote, Leeds Castle, Penshurst Place & Gardens, Romney, Hythe & Dimchurch Railway, and The Hop Farm. The city of Canterbury, and the historic towns of Tunbridge Wells and Rye are also less than an hour away by car.
