Faversham. The town is brimming with culture and history, having a wide choice of restaurants and pubs offering anything from
fine dining to fish and chips. Throughout the year Faversham is host to many interesting events like The Medieval Fair,
The Swale Barge Race, The Classic Car Rally and the world famous Hop Festival. Faversham is one of Britain's finest heritage
towns with nearly 500 listed buildings dating from as early as the 13th century. Many of the more ancient houses open to the
public on the annual Open House scheme, held on the first three Saturdays in July, where the inquisitive can explore behind
normally closed doors. Faversham also has the open garden scheme, normally held on the first weekend in June and the last in
July. The town contains the oldest gunpowder mills in the world, the oldest brewery in Britain and the largest collection of
fruit tree varieties, housed at the Brogdale centre. On Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays there is a street market
which is the oldest in Kent, going back over 900 years. Faversham lies close to the historic city of Canterbury,
and is linked via motorway or dual carriageway to London, the coastal resorts of Whitstable and Herne Bay, the
main channel ports of Kent, as well as being within easy reach of Ashford International Rail Station and the Channel Tunnel.
