This app is your pocket guide as you navigate your way around the attractions of the town on a series of trails. It reveals the fascinating history, hidden stories, and fun facts about the historic County Town of Kent, through specially themed routes.
The series of trails provides opportunities to explore away from the main thoroughfare and find unexpected and hidden gems. Or use the map to look up points of interests near you using GPS.
