Garden of England GlamperRV Adventure

A Garden of England Adventure

This week I am taking you on a captivating journey through Kent, the aptly named “Garden of England.”  Having embarked on a mini GlamperRV adventure here myself, I was enthralled by the contrasting scenery. Whether you’re a seasoned motorhome traveller or a curious newcomer, Kent promises an unforgettable escape.

A Tranquil Escape at Hole Park

Our adventure begins at Hole Park, a stunning estate nestled amidst the picturesque rolling hills of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty [AONB]. Here, Wild with Consent offers a secluded GlamperRV pitch, allowing you to immerse yourself in the parkland’s tranquil beauty. Breathtaking views and a sense of serenity await you in this exclusive location.  An added perk? Guests enjoy discounted access to the magnificent Hole Park Gardens (when open to the public) and can even arrange private tours for a truly personalized experience.

Dungeness: A Postmodern Masterpiece on the Shingle Shore

Next, we embark on a scenic drive to Dungeness, a location unlike any other. Here, nestled beside the disused nuclear power station, lies the famed garden designed by the visionary filmmaker Derek Jarman. This postmodern masterpiece is a testament to Jarman’s artistic genius and a must-see for any design enthusiast. Aim to arrive early in the morning and be captivated by the unique atmosphere of this shingle landscape.

For an overnight stay near Dungeness, consider booking a spot at the highly-rated Jolly Fisherman pub. Alternatively, New Romney Caravan Park offers a welcoming campsite with excellent reviews, providing a comfortable haven for the night.

Family Fun at Lympne Safari Park & Historic Walmer Castle

If you’re traveling with little adventurers, a day trip to Lympne Safari Park promises an exciting encounter. For those seeking a historical adventure, a visit to Walmer Castle is a must. Built by Henry VIII and later serving as a residence for the Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports, this historic landmark offers a glimpse into England’s past. Explore the newly opened private rooms of the Lord Warden and discover where the Queen Mother herself once resided.

From Walmer Castle, enjoy a leisurely stroll or cycle ride into the charming seaside town of Deal. Here, we highly recommend indulging in a delicious brunch at Deal Pier Kitchen, the perfect way to fuel your seaside explorations.

For your overnight stay, consider Solleys Ice Cream Campsite, a delightful independent campsite renowned for its homemade ice cream – a must-try during your visit!

Exploring the Cultural Hubs of Margate & Whitstable:

Our final leg takes you to the vibrant north coast of Kent. With a train line conveniently connecting Margate and Whitstable, you have the flexibility to choose your base camp and explore both these charming towns on foot, by bike, or by train.

Margate has undergone a remarkable transformation, blossoming into a renowned center for contemporary art, with a plethora of new galleries and restaurants waiting to be discovered. Whitstable, on the other hand, boasts a rich maritime heritage and is renowned for its fresh seafood offerings.

So, pack your sense of adventure, book your luxurious GlamperRV, and embark on a journey to unveil the multifaceted beauty of Kent, the Garden of England. This itinerary is just a starting point, feel free to customize it to suit your interests and create lasting memories on your GlamperRV escape!
