The Campsite

Animal aficionados will be in their element with overnight camping at the Eagle Heights wildlife park, among creatures including elegant bald eagles and huskies. Found within Kent’s Lullingstone Park, just a one-hour journey from the capital, the park is host to 100 birds of prey in both indoor and outdoor aviaries. During the overnight experience guests can huddle around the campfire and feed the huskies, all while immersing themselves in the park’s after-hours activities.

Groupon’s Guide To Kent

If zipping over to the village idyll of Eynsford, travellers enthused by archaeology should be sure to stop off at the Lullingstone Roman Villa which boasts some of the most excellently preserved remains in the UK.

The gentrified sprawl of the Knole House estate allures visitors with its lofty manor house, herds of deer, and literary ties to celebrated writers such as Virginia Woolf. Over 300 years of military history may be explored at the Royal Engineers Museum, which plays host to an illuminating collection of weapons, vehicles, and uniforms from a variety of cultures.
