The first man to step onto British soil found himself in Kent, which makes this the oldest inhabited land in the country. For hundreds of thousands of years, man has lived, worked, loved and played on the slopes of the chalky downs, in the rich forest and on the salt-flecked beaches. He has had time to reflect upon the nature of existence, come to terms with his mortality and look to the future. In doing so, the Men of Kent and the Kentish Man (and Maids!) have created a rich history, in legend and in fact.

We look to the future with our power stations and wind farms, but we also cling to many of our ancient customs and create new ones as we go.

These are just a few of the odd and fantastic stories about people and places in the county, reminding us that there are many, many things that cannot, and might never be, explained.
