Inspirational Ideas

It’s not until you spend time in a place that you get to appreciate all it has to offer – and that’s certainly the case with Gravesham, a borough full of welcome surprises.

The difficulty will be deciding what to do with your time. That will, of course, depend on how long you’re planning to stay, who you’re coming with, what you’re in the mood for and how active – or otherwise – you want to be.

There is of course the Great British weather to consider too, although being in the Southeast, we’re lucky to enjoy some of the sunniest weather in the country. That said, there’s always plenty to do come rain or shine.
