oldest such museums in the country. It was
established in 1970, and since then has grown
to incorporate a number of rare aircraft and
memorabilia. The museum is dedicated to
preserving as many planes as it can find, and so
far has done a sterling job protecting aircraft that
would otherwise have been sold for scrap.

The Wildlife Heritage Foundation
Located just outside of Headcorn itself is The
Wildlife Heritage Foundation. The site holds regular
open days throughout the year (which are fun
events that include face painting, barbecues, arts
and crafts, stalls, falconry displays, bouncy castles
and more), as well as plenty of opportunities to
get up close and personal with the big cats,
including photography workshops, ranger for a
day experiences, and the chance to adopt an
animal.

The George & Dragon Inn
The George & Dragon Inn, right on Headcorn’s
high street, is a friendly, welcoming, family-friendly
pub and restaurant at the heart of the village.

The Weald of Kent Golf Club
One of the most prestigious golf courses around,
the Weald of Kent Golf Club is rightly proud of
its picturesque grounds, beautifully maintained
greens, and luxury hotel and restaurant. Not only
can you enjoy an exceptional game of golf here
(on a course that is ideal for beginners yet
challenging enough for experts too), but you can
also relax in the 19-room lodge-style hotel. The
hotel and grounds are open to the public, and
offer a truly stunning place to hold your wedding,
enjoy a Sunday carvery, or simply play golf.
