There is so much to do here, both on-site and locally. We find something new every time we visit and have been coming here for 15 years!

Kent Coast Holiday Park, in the village of Allhallows, sits nestled between the rugged beauty of the Thames Estuary and the beautiful meadows of the Kent countryside. Whether you prefer a quiet sanctuary to sit and watch the incredible sunsets and shipping on the estuary, or an activity-packed holiday, you will not be disappointed. Kent Coast offers it all!

The list of sporting facilities is sure to impress: a large and beautifully situated coarse fishing lake; indoor and outdoor heated pools (please note that amazing additions are coming to the swimming area, including fantastic new flumes and a splash area, which may mean that some sections of the pool could be unavailable during construction); tennis and sports courts; a bowling green; crazy golf; and an indoor sports dome.

However, the jewel in the crown is the brand-new Adventure Village, featuring a massive new play park, picnic area with an outdoor stage for shows and films, huge new sandpit, The Jump, climbing walls, dog park, and Aerial Adventures. There is also kart hire and a Nerf Training Camp.

There is also a brand-new, much larger Marina Bar. The Marina Bar has its own huge outdoor terrace overlooking the play area and the estuary. Inside is a large sports bar with huge screens and a massive show bar for all your usual entertainment. There is also a Seaside Squad shop, a fish and chip shop, Burger King, Papa Johns, Seaside Treats (waffles, ice cream, etc.), and the Box Bar for outdoor drinks.

There is also a newly refurbished Yacht Club on the seafront with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, where you can also watch live entertainment. Also new for children is the Creative Studio for arts and crafts. New for 2025, opening in late March, is our very own Wetherspoons!

Haven provides an incredible array of organised activities using these facilities for young and old alike. The park also offers traditional holiday facilities such as an amusement arcade, restaurant with River Terrace, and a packed programme of daytime and evening entertainment for all the family. There is also a well-stocked supermarket and launderette should you need them.

One of the more unusual features at Allhallows is its very own 19th-century fort (Slough Fort), which is being restored, with tours available.

The park is only a short railway journey from London and an easy drive to some beautiful beaches on the Kent coast.

The Isle of Thanet is home to 15 different coves and sandy beaches, with the Royal Harbour of Ramsgate and its Regency architecture, the quintessential seaside town of Broadstairs, and the vintage pleasure park at Margate. You are spoilt for choice here.

Whitstable is a seaside town in north-east Kent, eight miles from Canterbury. Whitstable is famous for its oysters, which have been collected in the area since Roman times. The harbour houses a fish market, and every year the town holds a nine-day Oyster Festival in July. There is entertainment and local art on display throughout the town. Harbour Street is home to three of the town's galleries, as well as many boutiques and independent shops.

The Whitstable Museum and Art Gallery displays artefacts and portraits relating to the town's seafaring traditions. A notable feature of Whitstable is The Street, a natural strip of shingle bank located to the east of the harbour. It is revealed only at low tide, when it is possible to walk out along it. There are many colourful beach huts stretching along the beach beyond the harbour.

Close by are the historic towns of Gravesend and Rochester.

There are so many reasons to visit Gravesend that it is hard to list them all here. It has a wealth of riverside heritage to explore. Personal favourites include Gordon Gardens, the Promenade and café, New Tavern Fort, and the wonderful views from Windmill Hill. It has become famous for being the final resting place of the legendary Pocahontas. It also has excellent rail links to London, and you can travel by river boat on various excursions and trips along the Thames.

With its magnificent castle built in 1087, awe-inspiring cathedral, and quaint Victorian high street, Rochester is a must-visit. It has many links with the famous author Charles Dickens, with many of its buildings featured in his novels and his former home just a few miles away in Higham. The city hosts various colourful festivals throughout the year, including the Sweeps Festival on the May Day Bank Holiday weekend and the Dickens Festival in the first week of June. Various concerts are also held in the grounds of Rochester Castle during the summer.

Bluewater Shopping Centre is well worth a visit. One of the biggest shopping centres in the country, it boasts a huge multiplex cinema, countless restaurants, and both trampoline and football activity parks.

Dockside Shopping Centre in Chatham is even closer. Dockside is home to an Odeon Cinema, Flip Out Trampoline Park, and a wide range of shops. It is also surrounded by an excellent choice of restaurants, including Nando's, Pizza Hut, and Creams. It is perfectly situated to combine with a visit to Chatham Historic Dockyard, just across the road.

One of Britain's leading maritime heritage attractions, Chatham Historic Dockyard features three historic warships, a working Victorian ropery, the Historic Lifeboat Collection, the Dockyard Railway, the Hearts of Oak digital theatre, play areas, and magnificent collections from two national museums.

New interactive galleries take you on a voyage back to the Age of Sail, where powerful stories reveal the incredibly important historical role of Chatham Dockyard.

There is also another cinema, bowling alley, and other attractions at Medway Valley Park near Strood. This is also home to Diggerland, a fun-packed adventure park where children and adults can ride and operate full-sized diggers, dumpers, and other construction equipment.

If you love castles, you are in for a treat, as there are so many to visit. Upnor Castle, Rochester Castle, and Leeds Castle are just a few of the many to explore.

St Andrews Lakes at Halling boasts an amazing range of water-based activities and stunning floating lodges, complete with their own decking areas and private hot tubs.

As a former quarry, the site has been transformed into a beautiful blue lake reserve, complete with sandy beaches and a fantastic range of water- and land-based activities for all ages.

A beautifully positioned and incredibly thrilling 600-metre zip wire has also opened. Whatever you decide to do at this wonderful location, you are sure to have an amazing time and feel as though you are abroad without the inconvenience of flying.

Motorsport fans will also be well catered for, with the famous Brands Hatch nearby, offering something for every petrolhead in the family.

There are many children's soft play centres in the area, the biggest and best being Monkey Bizz. Perfect for a rainy day, Monkey Bizz offers a huge indoor soft play area, a separate area for toddlers, a roller rink, and a café.

Children will also love the Fenn Bell Inn, just a few minutes' drive from the park, which has its own rescued animal centre and serves lovely pub food. On a much larger scale, and perfect for a full day out, is Howletts Wild Animal Park.

Finally, a short drive away is Fort Amherst in Chatham. Originally constructed during the Napoleonic Wars in preparation for a possible invasion, Fort Amherst was also used as a civil defence centre during both World Wars. The fort has been in a near-constant state of restoration since the 1980s by the Fort Amherst Heritage Trust, a charity that works hard to manage and maintain the vast site while sympathetically restoring its grounds and buildings to ensure Britain's largest Napoleonic fortress can be enjoyed by all.

So, whether you decide to stay on the park or explore further afield, there is just so much to do at Haven Kent Coast. It really is a fabulous location.
