Kent

Kent is an English maritime county in the extreme South-East. It lies between the Thames estuary and the Strait of Dover, with Surrey and Sussex on the West. It is hilly, with marshes in the South-East, and on the Thames shore. The region is watered by the Medway, Stour, and Darent. It has beautiful scenery, rich pasturage, and fine agricultural land, largely under hops and market-gardens. A large part of London is in Kent. Maidstone is the county town. Rochester and Canterbury are cathedral cities. Woolwich, Gravesend, and Dover are seaports, and Margate and Ramsgate watering-places.
