YAY! Faversham made it - top spot. Today is the antique market and is heaving in town and if you have filmed it today will be even more amazing!!. A very busy town centre today, everyone out and about!. Love Faversham. 💖

Excellent choices. I live between both Faversham and Broadstairs, and glad to see some love of them both. Another coastal town I recommend is Deal (and it still has probably the most thriving High Street in East Kent!).

Nice one! Faversham still has a bit of ruggedness to it, but I really enjoy living here.

Great choice lovely to see my home town of Faversham at number one x

Have to place Sevenoaks over Edenbridge! But interesting video. Thanks.

I would have thought Sevenoaks would have squeezed in the top 10, good list nonetheless 👍🏽

I'm extremely surprised Hythe isn't on the list!
It has the best seafront in Kent and the canal is very pretty.

These videos are a fantastic use of your 4K archive! Great stuff.

I’ve lived in Kent all my life and I can say that there are some very pretty towns and villages. The same goes for East Sussex, West Sussex and I’m sure most counties. However, none of the towns shown is without its bad sides. Tenterden High Street has undergone changes with too many nice shops closing and too many charity shops taking their place. Much the same for Cranbrook which also suffers from some very average housing estates around the centre.

I would have picked Deal because it is so relatively unspoilt. It is old fashioned and has gone through tough times but it seems to have changed as little as it can over the last 50 years.

I have been to most of these and they are truly lovely, I usualy get on a bus for a day trip as I live in Kent, thank you for showing them, In Sandwich they have a boat which takes you out to seal island, where you can see the seals in their habitat..

Been living in Kent for good 14 years, and surprisingly never ventured out of Maidstone... Will definitely give these mentioned gems a visit. Thank you

Thank you Alex. Delightful and so informative as usual. Did Canterbury of course but never the other towns cited. My bad.

[lislane]

Faversham over Canterbury?! That's crazy talk!

[SANDSCORCHER]

Broadstairs is indeed quite lovely 😎👍🏻

[tauk]

Faversham! My jaw dropped 🤣 Locally known as Chaversham 😅

Rochester is a lovely place but the biggest shame is that it’s situated in Medway so most of the time it’s full of muppets

I enjoyed this one and have worked at several of the towns you feature. You mentioned Tunbridge Wells seemed like two towns. Well, you're not far wrong. I worked there for many years for a High Street bank which had two branches, one at each end of the main Mount Pleasant/Mount Pleasant Road. These were divided by Church Road and it was always said that traditionally, the area south of Church Road had the 'Carriage Trade' customers i.e. the posher end, and north of Church Road the less salubrious clientele. I won't comment on that, but the south side customers were certainly more genteel and were rather better off!

You could argue that Sandwich is a seaside town, if you include Sandwich Bay as part of the town. Thought that may be a bit of a stretch. Great list!

Having spent the first 18 years of my life on the SouthEastern coast of Kent, I was pretty shocked to realise how little I knew of the rest. My parents moved to Tenterden so I know that and Tunbridge Wells pretty well, with Sandwich and Canterbury from before, but not having a car myself little exploring beyond was possible. I missed a good many beautiful places. Perhaps a holiday from my home in Gloucestershire, which I know really well, is in order.

Thanks!!! Some amazing heritage and architecture to behold!
