Discover the Kentish landscapes that fired the imagination of Ian Fleming and forged the legacy of the world’s most famous spy. Fleming’s Kent invites you on a journey through the real-world settings that shaped James Bond, guiding you along quiet village lanes, dramatic chalk cliff walks, and storied coastal roads where fiction and history collide.
Trace the 007 trail from St Margaret’s Bay - where Fleming lived in White Cliffs, and the backdrop to an unforgettable scene in Moonraker - to Kingsdown, where the sinister Hugo Drax’s rocket site was built from the wild terrain between Dover and Deal.
Speed along the A20 between Leeds Castle and Charing, the very route that inspired Bond’s high-octane duel with Drax’s Mercedes.
Visit Pett Bottom, where Fleming penned You Only Live Twice, and a young Bond lived with his Aunt Charmian. Raise a glass at The Duck Inn, one of Fleming’s favourite haunts. Explore Dover Castle, Reculver’s lonely towers, and the grounds of Higham Park, birthplace of the cars that sparked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Or play a round at Royal St George’s - reimagined as Royal St Mark’s in Goldfinger. We will even find time to visit locations featured in Bond films.
A blend of travel guide, literary pilgrimage, and spy-world immersion, Fleming’s Kent is essential reading for Bond enthusiasts, history lovers, and adventurers alike. Discover the county that shaped a legend - and step into Bond’s world, one iconic location at a time.
The book is filled with lavish photographs and maps of the Moonraker and Goldfinger driving routes.
