Gravesend sits on the southern bank of the Thames, looking across to Tilbury in Essex. It's a historic town with a down-to-earth feel, offering a bit of everything – riverside walks, a bustling market, and decent transport connections that make it popular with commuters and day-trippers alike. You'll find a mix of modern development and older charm, with its character shining through in the people and places dotted around town.

The town's history goes back to at least the Domesday Book, but things really started picking up in Tudor times when Gravesend became one of the main ports for ships heading to and from London. It has strong ties to the story of Pocahontas, who died here in 1617 and is buried at St George's Church. Its riverside position has always been a defining feature, shaping the local economy and adding to its rich maritime past.

There's plenty to explore in Gravesend itself. The Town Pier is the oldest surviving cast-iron pier in the world, and the promenade nearby offers views across the river. The town centre has a lively market, some good shopping options, and a mix of restaurants and cafes. Cyclopark is popular with families and fitness fans, and Woodlands Park gives you a nice green space for a stroll. For history buffs, there's the Cold War-era nuclear bunker and the Gravesend Borough Market, which blends Victorian structure with a modern vibe.

The rest of Kent opens up a whole range of options. You've got Rochester with its castle and cathedral just down the road, and Chatham's Historic Dockyard if you fancy a day with the naval history. Further afield, Canterbury, Leeds Castle and Hever Castle are all within driving distance. You're also not far from the coast, with places like Whitstable and Herne Bay making great day trips when the sun's out.

Getting to Gravesend is easy. It sits on the high-speed rail line from London St Pancras, getting you into town in under half an hour. The A2 and M25 are close by, which makes driving in and out pretty straightforward. There are local buses running regularly, and for longer journeys, Ebbsfleet International is nearby if you're thinking Eurostar. The nearest airport is London City, but Gatwick isn't too far either.

Kent's got that classic mix of countryside, coast, and commuter belt. Known as the Garden of England, it's full of orchards, hop fields and lovely old villages, but there's also plenty of life in the towns. It's well connected, with decent schools, a growing food scene, and a mix of heritage and innovation that keeps things interesting. Whether you're into castles, coastline or culture, you won't be short of options.
