Town: Preston is a large, thriving village in the heart of East Kent. Dating back to the Iron Age and mentioned in the Doomsday Book, this lovely village boasts a pub, butchers, farm shop, village stores and even a garden nursery that has achieved nationwide fame for its exotic range of plants! The annual Steam Rally and ploughing matches at Preston Court are popular events on the village calendar, offering an exciting time for all ages and attracts visitors from far afield. With demonstrations in steam and horse ploughing, dog agility displays and ferret racing to displays of classic cars, motorbikes and military vehicles, this is not any quiet country show; there is even a funfair in the evening. At other times of the year Preston Court is a popular wedding venue, and was once owned by Juliana de Leybourne who pronounced it as her favourite residence. The area around Preston is a walker’s paradise. Why not explore Denge Wood, renowned for its orchids and butterflies? The Saxon shoreline and North Downs, which follows much of the Pilgrim's Way, is also easily accessible from the village. Preston is within an easy distance to Wingham, Littlebourne, Ickham and Wichambreaux and all four villages boast pubs serving excellent food. For a day of culture and sightseeing then why not visit the historic city of Canterbury? Ramble around ruins, tread cobble streets, and take in the atmosphere of this beautiful city in all its glory. Or why not make for Whitstable and sample the oysters at a harbour-side restaurant, just one of the things this coastal town is famous for? Always a popular haunt of stars of stage and screen, Whitstable is still home to many famous actors. After a busy day out, why not return to the tranquillity of Preston with its birdsong and serenity to relax before another adventurous day?
