Relaxed calm and inviting all year around good place for the entire family

Faversham is Kent's leading market town with its historic town centre, superb countryside and winding creek as well as first-class shops, restaurants, pubs and cafés.

Faversham has a growing reputation for fine local food and drink, a growing art community and excellent walking. One of the few towns permitted to use the Royal Arms' three leopards on its crest Faversham is a haven in the Kent countryside, with a calmer, quieter, unhurried way of life that has huge appeal for locals and visitors alike.

Where else but Faversham can you walk in the footsteps of kings, conjure up the heyday of the gunpowder trade on Faversham Creek, feast on delicious, fresh local Kentish produce and explore some of the most beautiful gardens and elegant houses in southern England.

Faversham is home to Shepherd Neame, the UK’s oldest brewer, the Fleur de Lis Museum’s enchanting displays for young and old alike, and Brogdale’s renowned National Fruit Collection. Faversham Pools offers indoor and outdoor swimming, the Creek Creative arts centre has a fine public gallery and café, and the Royal Cinema shows up-to-the-minute releases in one of Kent’s last big-screen auditoria.

The town’s independent shops offer everything from antiques and fine art to the very best of local produce from the Garden of Kent. Macknade Fine Food’s has one of the best spreads of scrumptious, quality food and drink in south east England.

Faversham’s first-class accommodation makes an ideal base for trips further afield: Whitstable’s beach and harbour are just minutes away, Broadstairs and Kent’s glorious seaside towns a short drive, while Canterbury with its soaring cathedral and other world heritage sites is on the doorstep. Dover, Leeds and Rochester castles are a stone's throw away, as is Chatham’s historic dockyard.

Further afield, London is within easy reach, served by the High Speed service to St Pancras and mainline railway services to Victoria and Cannon Street. Road links are good too the town is close to the M2, the A2 and the Thanet Way. The M20 is nearby and continental Europe is on Faversham’s doorstep via Dover’s ferries and Eurostar services for Paris and Brussels from neighbouring Ashford and Ebbsfleet.
