Why we love Gravesend
Gravesend is an iconic town alongside the Thames with easy connections to London, Ashford International and Europe. The Woodlands Beefeater is close to some of the best spots in town and lots of fun things to do nearby.
For a start, our namesake, Woodlands Park, is right next door. A big open space full of play areas and spaces for kids! There’s no better place to tire the kids out before lunch. The same goes for the banks of the Thames nearby, there are some brilliant views of the river from Gravesend.
Elsewhere in town, make sure to visit the Chantry Heritage Centre, one of the oldest buildings in the borough and a fascinating site for learning about the history of Gravesham. If you’re on a trip full of activities, stop by the Gravesend Cyclopark for Kent’s most modern multi-sport activity venue. Finally, Gravesend is famous for being the resting place of Pocahontas, and the statue dedicated to her near the Thames is well worth a visit.
