The county of Kent in southeast England borders the River Thames, the North Sea, and London to the north, and the Straights of Dover and English Channel to the south. Frequent travellers of the Eurostar know Kent as the beautiful English countryside between London and the Channel. Kent is predominately rural, and is widely known as “The Garden of England” because of the county’s abundance of orchards and hop gardens. Recently, however, Kent has seen a large drop in agriculture, while industry and services increase in the area.
Many Kent residents also commute to London along roads such as the A20, A21, and the A2, as well as by rail. Osteopaths in Kent, many of whom conveniently work right off of these main thoroughfares, lament the long hours on a train or in the car that many Kent residents spend each day. Kent Osteopaths warn against the dangers of commuting. Kent Osteopaths recommend getting up, walking around and stretching as much as possible during the commute, as well as during the work day. Kent Osteopaths recommend doing activities during the commute that make this time feel productive, such as reading the paper or listening to music or audio books.
Kent amenities include:Kenty County CC, Kent County Council, BBC Kent, The University of Kent and Kent Law School.
