FANCY a great day trip or long weekend to somewhere new, but sick of wading through TripAdvisor for advice? Here are our Sun readers' best tips for underrated places to visit in the South East of England. As part of our Best of British travel series , we asked readers which towns, cities, villages and attractions in the south east are really worth visiting? From medieval towns to remote beaches, there's something for everyone. Sun reader Charlotte Hall said: "Tenterden is filled with amazing country walks, a wealth of maritime history and quaint buildings and oast houses.
It's the Jewel of Kent!" A trip to the quaint town of Tenterden really feels like you're on the set of a retro tv show, thanks to its well-preserved medieval centre and stunning white clapboard properties. There's plenty to fill a long weekend, thanks to the beautiful surrounding countryside and its location near to the Kent and Sussex coast. Nowadays, one of its biggest claims to fame is Chapel Down vineyard - easily one of the country's best known English wine producers.
The vineyard and winery is just a seven-minute drive from Tenterden town centre, with daily tours and tastings, a shop with its wine available to buy, and The Swan restaurant where you can enjoy lunch and dinner. Other quintessentially English activities include taking a trip on the Kent and East Sussex Railway to Bodiam Castle , a visit to the independent antique shops and boutiques in Lower High Street, and the National Trust's Smallhyth.
