Latest Sittingbourne Review

When I last visited Sittingbourne it was a cold, damp day and it did little to brighten the former industrial area. That being said Sittingbourne is slowly being transformed to take advantage of the tourism trade. A go-kart track, a heritage boat collection and a historic steam railway are just a handful of the unusual attractions in this North Kent town that I totally recommend for all the family.
