I don't have sufficient experience of Kent or Shropshire to comment 
on those counties - but I certainly think CJND was right about right 
about Berkshire.  Are there any really first rate rings in the 
county? Cannot say that I have come across anything spectacularly 
good in Hampshire yet either, although I like Portsmouth Cathedral.

Presumably Berkshire and Hampshire have always been relatively 
prosperous counties, so it seems strange that there are so few good 
rings of bells to be found thereabouts.
