Faversham /ˈfævərʃəm/ is a market town and civil parish in the Swale district of Kent, England. The town is 48 miles from London and 10 miles from Canterbury and lies next to the Swale, a strip of sea separating mainland Kent from the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. It is close to the A2, which follows an ancient British trackway which was used by the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, and known as Watling Street. The Faversham name is of Latin via Old English origin, meaning "the metal-worker's village".

An eclectic mix of over traders, with a wide range of items ranging from traditional antiques, vinyl, militaria, vintage, retro, upcyled and much more. We have the coolest tea room around. Set in a large airy building, with a friendly and relaxing atmosphere, all set in a semi rural location, surrounded by pear orchards.

Mount Ephraim Gardens is a family owned estate set in ten acres of stunning Edwardian terraced gardens against a backdrop of the beautiful Kent countryside. Explore the gardens, relax in the Tea Room or stay in the Manor House. Highlights are the elaborate and unusual topiary, Millennium Rose Garden and a traditional herbaceous border. The gardens also feature a Japanese rock garden, water garden and lake, arboretum and a spectacular grass maze with a small play area - an ideal spot for picnic. No visit is complete without lunch or tea in the West Wing Tea Room. With five B&B Guest Rooms, each individually decorated and with incredible views over the estate, ensuite bathroom, flatscreen TVs and tea and coffee making facilities, it's the perfect country retreat. Wake up in the Manor House, enjoy a sumptuous breakfast and have the gardens to yourself before visitors arrive from 11am. Mount Ephraim is also available for weddings, corporate events, filming and photo sessions.

We were holidaying in Kent with our two small children (18 months and 3 years) and looking for somewhere to spend the day away from the hustle and bustle of the beach. The day of our visit was a very hot one (temperatures topped 32 degrees in the afternoon) but there was plenty of shade to shelter from the heat. In the 10 acres of garden there was also amble space for the children to burn off some energy and they both enjoyed looking at the wide variety of plants and flowers. The Japanese rock garden was the perfect spot for a picnic, shaded by the towering acers and the sound of the stream made for a serene backdrop. All in all, it was a brilliant day and we would certainly have spent more than the 2-3 hours of our visit if it had not been so hot. In my opinion, the gardens compare to any of the RHS gardens I have visited previously which makes the entrance fee all the more reasonable (£7 for adults, free for under 4s and £2.50 for children 4 and over.) If you are in the area I would definitely recommend checking Mount Ephraim Gardens out - you won't regret it.

Finally there’s a fascinating tutored tasting of Shepherd Neame’s Kentish ales and speciality lagers.
