Faversham is one of Britain's finest heritage towns with nearly 500 listed buildings dating from as early as the 13th century. Many of the more ancient houses open to the public on the annual Open House scheme, held on the first three Saturdays in July, where the inquisitive can explore behind normally closed doors. Faversham also has the open garden scheme, normally held on the first weekend in June and the last in July. The town contains the oldest gunpowder mills in the world, the oldest brewery in Britain and the largest collection of fruit tree varieties, housed at the Brogdale centre. On Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays there is a street market which is the oldest in Kent, going back over 900years. Faversham lies close to the historic city of Canterbury, and is linked via motorway or dual carriageway to London, the coastal resorts of Whitstable and Herne Bay, the main channel ports of Kent, as well as being within easy reach of Ashford International Rail Station and the Channel Tunnel.
We take the threat to the environment very seriously at March Cottage. So wherever we can we recycle paper, glass and plastic and all our vegetable waste goes to our compost heap on the allotment. In the rooms, and our own house, we conserve electricity by switching off unnecessary lights and have a rolling programme to exchange old light bulbs with energy saving bulbs whenever they blow. Turning the TVs off when not in use saves energy too.
