Boasting a rich timeline dating before 2000 BC, Sittingbourne is a Kentish town ripe with historical intrigue and an industrious spirit. Located just 45 miles away from London, it once served as a pivotal stop on the route from the capital city to Canterbury following the death of Thomas Becket. Today, this town offers more than a comfortable resting place; it encapsulates a diverse past that reaches back to the Anglo-Saxons, aided by the Romans' strategic Watling Street.

Dotted with relics of yore such as the 13th-century St Michael's Church and evidence of a booming pub culture along its High Street, the town also had a significant hand in developing Kent's port and paper manufacture.
