The Kent and Sharpshooters Yeomanry Museum tells the story of the regiments from 1794 through the Boer War and both World Wars, with medals, uniforms, weaponry and militaria on display. You can step into a walk-in reconstruction of a WW1 Gallipoli trench or climb inside a WW2 Cromwell tank turret, while outside a Saladin armoured car and a 25lb Field Gun stand guard. Four interactive touch screens bring personal stories to life, and a registry lets you search the names of over 14,000 who served. It suits history lovers and families alike. The museum sits in Hever, Sevenoaks, close to Hever station 0.7 miles away, with 14 bookable places to stay within 5 miles for those wanting to extend their visit.
