Welcome to Sittingbourne

Sittingbourne is a town located in the county of Kent, England. It is situated on the Swale, a narrow strip of water that separates the Isle of Sheppey from the mainland. The town has a rich history, dating back to the Roman times when it was an important trading center. Today, Sittingbourne is a bustling town with a population of over 60,000 people.

One of the main attractions in Sittingbourne is the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway. This heritage railway runs for three miles between Sittingbourne and the village of Kemsley, and is operated by a team of dedicated volunteers. Visitors can take a ride on the steam train and enjoy the beautiful countryside views along the way. The railway also has a museum and a gift shop, where visitors can learn more about the history of the railway and purchase souvenirs.

Another popular attraction in Sittingbourne is the Milton Creek Country Park. This 128-acre park is located on the site of a former landfill and has been transformed into a beautiful green space. The park has a network of walking and cycling trails, a children's play area, and a fishing lake. It is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and dragonflies. The park is a great place to relax and enjoy nature, and is a popular destination for families and dog walkers.
