A very first time visit to the Britain's oldest brewery. The tour was informative and tour guide made us welcome with his friendly talk. He explained the whole brewing process step by step and the history of the site. At the end, tasting experience was great. Btw good to know about beer rather then just drink 😜. Worth the visit.

Visited brewery for the first time today and I was amazed! I am not much of a beer drinker so I was not sure what to expect, but it was actually great to see the process of beer making and the history behind it. At the end of the tour we had opportunity to taste some beers and learn more about the taste/smell of each one. Special thanks to Nick as he was a great tour guide! It is definitely worth a visit if you are interested in beers or not!

I could not recommend the tour and beer tasting highly enough! I came here for an afternoon outing with my family and we enjoyed every moment! Our tour guide Nick, was extremely informative and gave us a great look around the brewery and explained the intense process that goes into making the beer. I learned a lot about beer that I did not know before, and about the long history at Britain’s oldest brewery. We also had a great beer tasting, and I really enjoyed learning about Shepard Neame’s most popular and well loved beers. This is a great afternoon out and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing tour and tutored tasting today. Tour guide Aubrey was fantastic. Highly recommended.

I found this tour to be highly informative and incredibly interesting. Not just in terms of the process for beer making but also on the history of beer and ale as part of the English culture and the company itself. Then as an added bonus you get to taste 6 different lagers / ales and stouts. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience. So much so that I’ve now signed up for the evening meal and beer tasting event.

Note. The tour is now £25. The shop Is welcoming and sells a full range of SN beers, plus a few other labels they are licensed to produce. Also sell SN branded items, from t shirts to beer mats. This is a review of the shop, not the tour!

A great experience visiting the Shepherd Neame brewery, Laura our guide was full of knowledge and interesting facts of the brewery. The tasting experience was a fascinating culmination of the tour. Would thoroughly recommend and hopefully enjoy a couple of hours looking in to the past and present from the oldest brewery in Great Britain.

Nice harbour created for the enjoyment of tourists in a working fishing port. Fresh seafood is available by the harbour, however some of the outlets are a little too touristy. Overall a pleasant place to visit

Whitstable Harbour is a prominent feature in the coastal town of Whitstable, located in Kent, England. Known for its rich maritime history and vibrant local culture, the harbour has been operational since 1832 and has played a crucial role in the town's development, particularly in fishing and oyster cultivation. Key Features of Whitstable Harbour: Oyster Fishing: Whitstable is renowned for its oysters, and the harbour has been central to this trade for centuries. Railway History: The harbour was once connected to the world’s first passenger railway, the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway, which opened in 1830. It remains a working harbour, with a fleet of fishing vessels primarily focused on shellfish. The harbour is a popular tourist destination, offering a variety of activities such as boat tours, seafood restaurants, and markets. Whitstable Oyster Festival: An annual event celebrating the town's oyster fishing heritage, featuring food stalls, music, and entertainment. Harbour Market: Regular markets held in the harbour area where local artisans and vendors sell crafts, food, and other goods. Harbour Village: A collection of small shops and eateries housed in converted shipping containers. Art and Exhibitions: The harbour often hosts art installations and exhibitions, contributing to Whitstable's reputation as a hub for artists. Visitors to Whitstable Harbour can enjoy Seafood Dining, numerous restaurants and eateries offer fresh, locally sourced seafood. Boat Trips: Options include fishing trips, wildlife tours, and excursions to the nearby Red Sands Maunsell Forts. Walking and Cycling: Scenic routes along the coastline provide beautiful views and a chance to explore the town's heritage. Whitstable Harbour blends historical significance with contemporary attractions, making it a vibrant focal point for both locals and tourists. A fantastic day out at Whitstable Harbour that offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural experiences, soaking in the vibrant community atmosphere, and making it a memorable outing. I highly recommend it.

Missed the market, but there were plenty of good food and drink options regardless. Prices are generally higher than elsewhere in Whitstable but that’s to be expected given the location and trendier vibe.

We visited Whitstabke harbour and had a wonderful dayout. The harboir is a busy area, bustling with rich history of oysters, yacht club and full of people roaming and enjoying their time. The harbour is at its best on high tides . Good place for relaxing and to enjoy quality time to enjoy the vast endless water ahead. The harbour has good quality food courts with an adjacent local market that makes the place quite popular. We took the 30 min boat ride trip which was a wonderful experience to go out and enjoy in the open water.

A great couple of days in Whitstable. Lovely walk along the front rounded of by a fish n chip supper sitting along the seafront.

Superb area to visit, spent the day there, plenty to do and see in the harbour, restaurants and bars a plenty and you can catch a bout tour.

Lovely selection of top quality Whitstable arts, crafts, food and drink. I highly recommend you taking the time to visit.

The Whitstable castle looks stunning from outside but unfortunately it was closed for visitors due to an event. The garden is beautiful with play area for kids.

The Castle has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. The castle with its garden is an exquisite place to visit and walk around in the open public park. There is a cafe in the castle with sitting areas both inside and outside. We have tea while having seats outside and enjoying the wonderful views that the place has to offer. This is definitely a wild experience which is a must try while visiting Whitstable. There is a rose garden behind the castle which is well maintained and full of blooms.

This is a place to pass through and maybe stop for a cup of tea. Its not really a castle more of an interesting folly. Nice gardens with some unusual plants.

Attractive castle set amongst landscaped gardens. The building doesn't have the long history of many defensive castles, but makes up for this with a striking appearance. Colourful, well maintained flowerbeds and tropical plants give the gardens an inviting feel, and there's seating around the front of the castle to sit and enjoy refreshments. The rose garden is a particular highlight in early summer. There's a small amount of on-site parking available for disabled visitors, and otherwise plenty of space along the road overlooking Tankerton slopes. Information boards around the castle grounds and in the gatehouse explain more about the site's history.

Visited whitstable today. A nice sunny day in November. Lots of restaurants and cafes there. We ended up at the Castle cafe. Lovely gardens especially in summer months to walk around. Today, we just went to cafe and had lunch. Quite a varied menu. Staff were friendly, food good. So no complaints. Liked the idea of having menu to suit smaller appetites which stopped wasting food that is too much for some people to eat.

An enjoyable couple of hours spent in the gardens. The castle not that old by castle standards is quite small and so the gardens are likewise, so visitors won't get worn out. There is a swing park and climbing frame for the kids and plenty of seats in the grounds for the public to rest and admire the views. Parking is free on site but it is limited and those with blue badge can park in yeti dedicated bays further into the garden in front of the castle.

What a beautiful place! It's the first time my wife and I have visited this place and were very impressed. The garden / grounds were lovely and well kept. The tea room was part authentic and part modern - very light and bright inside. The cheese scones were delicious. The castle of course was an impressive sight, and best of all, no entry fee 😊. Would highly recommend.

It's a nice view over the sea, but not that high and in front of a (quiet) road. If you're hoping for a proper clifftop walk it's better to go to nearby Broadstairs. With that said I loved the Long Rock beach nature reserve below where you can find crabs, unusual rocks with sea creatures wrapped around them and a lot of seaweed. Really peaceful and interesting to look around. Atmosphere reminded me of Dungeness. I've included pictures from there too because Google doesn't let you review it separately.

We visited on a day when there was sunny weather.... bonus! Beautiful views. One of the best places to re-energise and feel full of 'happy'. A double bonus was the food festival and live music 🎶 We had a long sit down being entertained and chatting to local people, whilst eating local food. Best day!

Tankerton is a little village (street), in between The Hampton, Herne Bay and Whitstable, Kent. The panoramic view of the North sea and abstract cloudy skies are breathtaking. Especially between January and December. I think it's classed as an estuary. Anyway, it's stunning. Loads to do. You can walk for miles along the beach and find quiet spots, drift wood for your art projects and shells for your soap, incense or an ashtray for your Berkeley menthol fags. I've Scunthorpe, but I've been here 20 years now. It is literally like living on another planet. If you catch ma drift. Blessings ❤️🙏🏼

It's a nice place to have a stroll, walk the dog, or have a picnic on top of the slope. It has some parking along the road but it might get busy during the day. I saw people doing some kite-surfing when i came. Looked really fun! The huts along the slopes are so colourful, it's a perfect place for pictures.

Lovely, peaceful place. You can see the Isle of Sheppey, and also the 2nd World War gunnery towers built on stilts in the estuary from here

Grass bank home to rows of colourful beach huts, offering pleasant coastal views over the pebble beach below. On a clear evening you can see very a dramatic sunset over the sea. Worth walking out on The Street when the tide is out and looking back at the beach huts for a different perspective on the slopes. Accessible short walks into Whitstable or longer walks towards Herne Bay. Plenty of free parking along the road (can be hard to find a space in peak season and on sunny days). Cafés and public toilets at regular intervals.

Beautiful and quiet beach option for a family trip to the sea. Shallow waters with very fine sand but muddy in places. Town center close nearby and delicious ice cream shops and fish and chips shops around. Free parking available on some nearby roads or paid parking just on the seafront road. Toilets also available close to the beach.

Canterbury is a beautiful historic city full of charm, and Westgate Gardens is one of its highlights! Lovely flowers, peaceful riverside walks, and stunning views by the old city walls. Perfect place to relax and enjoy nature after exploring the city.

Beautiful green space, with plenty of place to sit or lie down and chill out. Keep going up the Stour and wander up a trail. Like a lot of Canterbury, you will likely encounter a lot of grubby homeless people in this garden. If I was I homeless in Canterbury, I'd probably hang out here, too. We visited middle of May.

Fabulous gardens to visit, such a wide variety of trees and wildlife right in the centre of Canterbury. We saw a Baobab Plane tree, Dawn Redwood, female fruiting Ginko, Tulip tree, Judas tree, evergreen Strawberry tree, Hornbeam, Dogwood, Himalayan Conifer, Weeping Willow and so much more. A true highlight was seeing a beautiful Kingfisher, a fox, a hedgehog, a cormorant and swans, and all in the space of an hour!

Lovely riverside walk into the centre of Canterbury. If you look carefully (under bridges easiest), you might be able to see some eels. The ducks are very happy to be fed; please avoid bread though. Small cafe area near the West Gate end.

There were some bugs and insects, but that means the place is nature-friendly! I love the peaceful mood and flowers. Sometimes there is small festival about medieval culture and you can see the knights fighting show.

Westgate Gardens is a stunning riverside park in Canterbury that offers a peaceful retreat from city life. The beautifully maintained lawns, vibrant flowerbeds, and diverse trees—including the majestic 200-year-old Oriental Plane Tree—create a calming and picturesque setting. Walking along the shaded paths by the River Stour, you can soak in the natural beauty and spot local wildlife. A highlight is the spectacular view of the historic Westgate Towers, England’s largest surviving medieval city gate, which adds a fascinating historical backdrop to the gardens. Whether you’re enjoying a family picnic, a romantic stroll, or simply seeking a quiet spot to read and relax, Westgate Gardens provides the perfect balance of nature and heritage. It’s a must-visit for anyone exploring Canterbury, offering tranquility and charm just steps from the city center.

It certainly used to be a very nice place to linger, have a picnic, or take a walk. But now much of it is cordoned off and even more littered. Some corners stink of piss, and it's very loud due to construction noise and the teenagers who seem to be spending their holidays there.But the tree, at 200 years old and over 8 meters in diameter, is very impressive. You don't see something like it very often.

Great place to visit.Plenty to see for all ages.Well worth a visit beautiful garden and splendid café.Lots of childrens activities

What a gem! We visited with our three and seven year old, we were the only ones on the tour, the guide was fantastic with them. A great place to visit for all ages. Lovely cafe and friendly volunteers. We found out about the mill through the wheels of time scheme, so glad we did. Looking forward to returning for one of the special events the mill runs

A really enjoyable visit. We went with our baby and were lucky to have the tour. The guide was excellent at making it interesting. The mill has a welcoming atmosphere, with a nice café and friendly volunteers. 5£ for entry.

Attended an event here, what a fabulous place! So interesting and a real gem! Totally recommend!

Had our wedding here on Saturday 30th, absolutely lovely day. Pat is a lovely, friendly lady, & her helpers are too. The Windmill will always hold a special place in my heart now, & we will visit regularly too. Full of happy, sunny memories. I would deffo recommend holding your wedding here. 💒💍🍰❤️💙Xx

Ran by volunteers, this is a wonderful place to visit with the family. A great insight into a working windmill, with the chance to buy some of the milled flour in the cafe. Very reasonably priced for the tour and the cafe is well priced too.

This Windmill is actually quite a surprise, because rather than being out in the country it's tucked away behind the M20, other main roads and a petrol station... but you wouldn't know it when you're there. It's over 150 years old and is run by a warm and friendly team of volunteers who have extensive knowledge of the area and Mill. They demonstrate how the millstones work together to change the coarseness of the flour, and allow children to try grinding wheat. They told us at the time we visited that it was due a bit of maintenance, small repairs and a new coat of paint, so it could have looked a bit better but the experience was still quiet, warm and friendly. They have a lovely selection of cakes and scones too.

The Marlowe theatre is a lovely newer building among the historic area around it. There are a few disabled parking spots just outside the entrance. There was a spot selling merch for the show (Rocky Horror) and a bar. The seats were comfortable and the stage was large and designed well. The show was great and well done everybody! Staff were very friendly. Toilets are clean.

Love going to the theatre... because I'm short, sometimes I struggle to see among the heads but yesterday I tried one of those cushions they provide and it was much better and SO comfy. Treat yourself to a night out! Oh! And we had dinner at the green room and it was delicious 😋

Lovely Theatre. Friendly staff. Comfortable seats. Bat out of Hell is an amazing show. There is so much talent on stage. We saw it being filmed for Cinemas.

Very good venue, well organised and spacious seating. Excellent selection of top quality shows. Highly recommended

My husband and I went to the Marlowe recently. Whilst there are steps up to the theatre from the street, there is also a slope for those with mobility issues. Our seats at the back of the stalls were comfortable and we had a good view of the stage. My husband has some mobility issues but the staggered steps were easy for his to access. A very enjoyable time

The Marlowe has some fabulous shows which never disappoint. Seats are a good, comfortable size. My only real gripe is the cost of their alcoholic beverages. While I may only have 1 glass of wine, I refuse to pay £11 for a 200ml bottle of prosecco, so do not purchase anything. This is my choice but its just far too expensive for me!!

Brilliant venue in the centre of Canterbury. Was pretty warm when I visited but inside was nice and cool. the only issue for me is the cost of parking nearby but this is not fault of this stunning venue.

The beer was fine, but leaving the door open on a cold night was not a particularly welcoming atmosphere. No food is served. Very handy if you're visiting the Marlowe theatre opposite.

Service was fine but the pub stunk of damp, was very cold and the women’s toilets were mouldy. Not enjoyable for pre-theatre drinks. Could be a cosy little pub if it was cared for.

It’s not sure if it’s a pub or a disco/nightclub. No ales available. £6.40 a pint! You’re having a laugh! We’re in Canterbury, not London. One mouthful of substandard ipa and left. Please let someone who actually cares about their clientele take over.

Wondered into the Canterbury tales pub as just a stones throw from the marlowe theatre. Several pumps had run out so not much choice of beers. Pub was completely dead. Looked like the gents toilets was out of order so a bit of paper on the womens said unisex toilets. Was really cold inside the pub and smelt of dogs.

Got to experience folk music at its finest. Quaint bar worth a visit

Really interesting, the guides add humour and makes it an enjoyable experience...

Great location and simple in design and offerings. Definitely more of a "student vibe" but have to say they try their best to accommodate all. Stick to what's on tap and don't deviate to cocktails and you'll be fine!

Lovely free entrance public library with several museum rooms A great spot to pop by on rainy days.

When visiting this library really kind staff member helped me to get books for relevant project But some staff when you make the environment repressive andunl unwilling to help bureaucratic nit picking it's about opportunity that can make a difference know your mission statement staff what a shame as vital services for those in the community better people skills understandy would be advised recommending

Interesting collections. I would happily spend a few hours looking at the exhibits closely.

Very patient with me not knowing using a computer, printer or scanning! I asked if I can pay bit more for the services they offered me. They said... (we can't expect , we are not allowed) And the kids reading area is great. My son Gabriel enjoyed it all the half term holidays.

The library had been converted into a better building for three years . It has staff that are helpful , but could be more helpful with the customers . They are not always around at times . Only mostly on weekends . There are some experienced staff there that have been there for years and they help where they can and do a good job . Sadly short staffed at times . There is a coffee shop and a few other spots in the building that you can view artefacts and drawings of pictures in the other parts or the top floor . Which is great for kids and family . There are things to do for school kids and kids that are very young . The activities are good for kids . It has closed earlier than usual . Which is sad . As we need the library opened an hour more not less.

Don't go at the moment - security is worse than at Heathrow Airport. They asked me for my name, library card, and then I was required to hand sanitise. When I pointed out that I was wearing white medical gloves, they asked me to put hand sanitiser on my gloves! At this point I laughed and left. I should also point out that it's normally an excellent library with helpful staff..

Oh dear, not very inspiring children's section. No nooks or comfy chairs to sit and read in, no art or colour. I'm very disappointed for my granddaughter who's just joined.

Went on a Thursday, a week day. Large cathedral, bigger than expected. It did have some construction ongoing outside so that did affect the pictures of the building. Staff and volunteers inside were friendly and happy to tell you a lot about the history, for free. Ticket office staff also helpful explaining the differences in tickets. Very quick and easy. Cathedral probably needs two visits and definitely a tour guide to fully appreciate. There is a cafe and restaurant, and even a hotel. Toilet facilities were adequate. Good places to sit and read if you need a break also. Definitely will return.

Very impressed. More than expected. Magnificent architecture. Huge, light, airy and less dark and oppressive when compared with Westminster Abbey. Beautiful ceilings and stained glass and extensive history. Less ‘tombs’ and fortunately less busy midweek. During our visit a Chaplain addressed all visitors briefly from the pulpit, and offered a prayer, using the cathedral for it’s intended purpose as a place of worship - not a tourist attraction - as it should be. The entry fee to the Cathedral is very reasonable considering the cost of maintaining the building and overseeing visitors. We paid an additional small sum for a guided tour which was exceptional. Lucky to get a ticket. The volunteer gave us a lot of insight into the development of Christianity in the UK, the various phases of the Church during different occupations and global conflicts, the murder of Thomas Beckett in 1170 AD, the destruction of his shrine by King Henry VIII in 1538, all wrapped up with visiting the different areas of the building and outlining the many extensions and renovations over 1000 years! Wonderful learning experience.

A beautiful and peaceful place to spend the day. You can wander around the whole site taking in all of the history and story of the cathedral. There is plenty to see inside both in the crypt and the main floor. You can walk through the entire cathedral. There are places set aside for prayer and quiet contemplation. The outside areas are quiet and interesting to look at. Since the building has been cleaned on the outside you get a good feel for the surroundings and what it would have looked like when it was built. Hearing the bells on the hour was magical and seeing the places where St Thomas was murdered and the site of his tomb before it was destroyed in the reformation makes you stop and think. A fantastic day and a day of learning is never wasted. One day I will return to learn some more. Thank you.

Beautiful Cathedral inside and outside. Very well maintained. You might need two days to walk around inside and outside, lovely gardens with lots of historical information. We thought it was free to enter, but it wasn't. We brought tickets either £19 or £21.00 each (don't remember exactly) they are valid for 12 months from the day of purchase. Just as well really, we thought they opened early on Sunday mornings, but they don't they have Sunday service and they open at 12.30. We had planned to go somewhere else and couldn't wait that long. We managed to walk around inside on Saturday morning early when it was quiet. The cathedral echos when people are talking, it looses it's essence of peace and solidtude. Definitely check the opening and closing times when planning a visit, it isn't visible from the outside of the cathedral which currently has scaffolding surrounding it for maintenance work. I will definitely go back to walk around the remainder of the cathedral before our tickets expire.

Went for a short stay to see Cathedral and town. So historic and interesting. (Museum was great too...and free! ). Went to a choral evensong with the school girls choir, in the Cathedral....beautiful. Next day toured the Cathedral and amazing Crypt. Well worth the money. Walking outside to other historic sites in the Cathedral area, afterwards. We didn't book tickets,as at the beginning of November, it was not busy.

Stunning... Just walking around this magnificent building is a delight... And there's no charges. So with a beautiful cathedral and a lovely quaint town with plenty of food options you definitely cannot go wrong for a good day out..

The Cathedral is truly a jewel of medieval architecture. The town, where Charles Dickens once lived for a while, has its own magic. You can feel the atmosphere of English life, away from the hustle and bustle of London (in a certain sense, it conveyed this to me). In the winter, it comes alive with university student life, and I think the pace of daily life changes, but despite everything, it remains beautiful to visit, perhaps even better.

Such a great little cinema - friendly staff, super clean and the big cinema is surprisingly big. We saw SIX there and sat in the 'normal' seats as the comfy ones were taken when I booked but I was so surprised by the amount of space! The ticket prices are so reasonable compared to big name cinemas too

Oh wow what a wonderful experience. Very friendly welcome from excellent staff. The cinema (we were in No1) was much larger than we thought it would be. Even had rising curtains. It was super clean. The leather luxury seats at £5 are a must. So much space, tried the normal £4 seats and they too were spacious. Sound was good. A nite out at the cinema for Two for £20 including popcorn and a drink. Can’t beat it….give it a try, knocks spots off the new fangled cinemas with all their gizmos!!!

We always go to the Carlton and are always met with smiley and welcoming faces! The tickets are really cheap and the food and drinks are always great! We love their big screen, it is very comfortable and the atmosphere is great! We always book our tickets online before we go.

Watched Hamilton on saturday 27/9/25. My 1st visit. Leather chairs were comfy. Enough leg room in front of me. Quite a traditional feel, but modernised. They sell a range of cinema required beverages n stuff. Staff friendly. I would definitely try it again..

The loveliest cinema I've ever seen! Exceptional, beautiful place - the original Ticket booth is there, ( first opened in 1910). The outside front is all green Glass-glazed tiles, inside you'll have clean, comfortable seats, and the prices are so cheap, I don't get how they'd pay the Bills! I saw 'The Creator' there, and it added so much to the whole Cinematic experience- (a smelly Multi-chain Cinema isn't optimal for artistic appreciation...!)

Great cinema for the price you pay, needs more organisation with queuing to get in and if your going for a long film take a cushion for the seats

Fantastic independently owned cinema that we really enjoyed using whilst in holiday. Must super these places to keep them going. The young staff were brilliant as I was a bit merry and really humoured my jolly antics . Clean, tidy and well stocked .

This beach by the seaside is next to the harbour. We didn't go down to the sand, but there didn't seem to be too much rubbish on it. When it's low tide you can see the Antony Gormley Another Time Statue. There are restaurants, shops and amusement arcades around. The weather was overcast and windy when we visited, but it must be nice to enjoy fish and chips in better weather. There's different parking options around. Street parking is generally more expensive than some of the big parking garages. It's a bit of a walk from the train station to this point, but not too far.

Lovely sandy beach. The tide pool is super useful during low tide ( but be careful is super slippery to get in and out). Also beware of the mob of seagulls ...they will swoop and steal your food 🫣

If you don't actually want to sit on the silky soft sandy beach but still want a quick swim, or paddle along the shore, then go to The Kings Steps. These are situated along the promenade, where you can sit down have a picnic, munch a freshly cooked pizza or some local fish and chips (I strongly recommend that you don't feed the seagulls as this will start a seagull frenzy). During the Summer months as the night draws in The Kings Steps is one of the most memorable, amazing and tranquil places to be. As a local I'm probably prejudice to the fact that you will experience some of the most beautiful Sunsets looking out towards Margate's Harbour Arm.

I love this sandy windy beach. I don't get the chance to be here often, but when l do, on goes the trunks and a plunge into the sea. Walking distance to public toilets, shops and cafes, as well as train station. Near galleries and markets, lots of choices of where to eat.

Lovely beach but town questionable lot of homeless drunks in open park , hopefully one off

Wonderful fantastic day out lots to do for adults and children as well as a diverse range of eateries at down to earth prices. Margate is the new in place to go. Full of history and culture and a very diverse community.

Beautiful beach for both rock pools or just clear sand. Clean huge expanse, a harbour to walk around, a fabulous 👌 seafood and oyster hut, a superb array of restaurants with seating inside and outside to sit and watch beautiful 😍 sunsets 🌇.

Dropped by Turner Contemporary during a day trip beach day to Margate and really enjoyed it. It’s free, super clean, and well looked after. I only had a quick wander before closing but it was still a really nice visit. Being right by the water is an added bonus. Worth checking out if you’re in Margate!

We spent a lovely couple of hours wandering through the galleries. All very well curated. Great for school groups. No entrance fee. Just donations requested. Small but interesting gift shop with pottery that reflects Turners key work.

I am always excited to see what's going to be on display next. The presentation is always top class with such attention to details. My daughter and I are frequent visitors.

It's free so always worth popping in if you're in Margate anyway. Quite surprised and a bit disappointed that there is literally just the one lonely Turner there. The other exhibits were a mixed bag really, two beautiful sculptures as you enter but the rest were bafflingly naive. Personal taste of course with any exhibition.

Enjoyable gallery. Airy and great light. However there is not a great deal to see. An hour and you have easily. seen everything on display. We went to see the Bridget Riley exhibition which is well layed out and displayed. Nice shop and coffee shop on site.

Always enjoy visiting the Turner no matter what the exhibition. It’s light,airy, has a great gift shop and cafe, entertainment for kids and decent toilets. We could easily spend a day here when the kids were small but now they are older it tends to be a couple of hours.

Hi all just been to the turner exhibition only one painting by him which we found unusual in the turner center lol The shell girl was good and the paintings and pictures buy the kids and teenagers of the area where good the sunken ship couldn't get my head around the chess piece where ok and the undersea world was ok .

The Shell Grotto is definitely a unique and interesting place to visit - I just wish it was a little bigger/there was a little more to see. Fascinating series of passages and small rooms beautifully decorated with shells. And how and why it was done is still a mystery. I enjoyed reading all the history and info. Recommend. Only a 10/15 min walk from the old town (and we also saw a lovely Tudor house).

Visited the Shell Grotto and really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly. And there's a nice selection of items you can buy in the shop. Definitely worth seeing. It was quite busy when we went in Sunday, but you can explore it in about 15 min. A short but very interesting experience.

Interesting place to visit and cheap activity. It takes approx 10 mins to walk around you can make it longer if you really want to inspect the design. But it is very small so if you area bit wary of tight spaces be aware this may not be for you. They have some interesting facts before you head down to the grotto. The team are friendly and the gift shop is lovely if a bit small when there are lots of people. Definitely worth a visit

Much smaller than expected but still very interesting with a little bit of history and alot of skill. I feel the entry price is far too expensive for something that took me 5 minutes to walk around, but for someone particularly interested in the artwork and fancy something different to look at, its still good. The gift shop is a must see as has plenty of gorgeous seashells and a few other pretty items for sale. No toilets or parking, if your lucky you can find free street parking nearby.

Visiting the Shell Grotto was an unforgettable experience. The moment I stepped inside, I couldn’t believe my eyes — every surface is covered in intricate patterns made entirely from seashells. It’s both mysterious and magical, and truly unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. This is absolutely a must-see destination for anyone. After exploring the grotto, I enjoyed browsing the charming gift shop, which offers a wonderful selection of seashells and other unique treasures to take home as souvenirs.

Stunning place decorated with many shells. Definitely worth a visit. There is also a shop to buy all sorts of small things. Not far, 3-4 minutes walk, there's a carpark with a pound stretcher, there the parking is free for two hours.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely mesmerizing! The Shell Grotto is one of Margate's hidden gems and a truly unique experience. From the moment you descend into this mysterious underground tunnel, you're transported into something magical. The intricate shell mosaics covering every surface are breathtaking - it's incredible to think that millions of shells were carefully arranged to create these beautiful patterns and designs. The craftsmanship is extraordinary, and the fact that we still don't know who created it or exactly when adds to the mystique. The audio guide is excellent and really helps you appreciate the history and theories surrounding this fascinating place. The lighting creates a wonderful atmospheric experience that makes the shells shimmer and come alive. Perfect for families, history buffs, or anyone looking for something completely different. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the gift shop has some lovely souvenirs. Don't miss this incredible piece of Margate's heritage - it's unlike anywhere else in the world! Well worth the visit and the ticket price. Highly recommended!

Our favourite family beach. Not far from London. Important if you’ve got a toddler and don’t want to travel long distances. Not overcrowded. Beautiful views, sandy beach and great waves. On top of it there are lifeguards to make sure safety of your kids. Hotel on the top of cliff to eat in. During tide out you can explore caves and search for fossils.

We walked from Margate Beach to Botany Bay Beach along the promenade (about an hour’s walk) and arrived around 6pm. By that time, it wasn’t too crowded as many people were leaving, which made it a peaceful spot to enjoy. The tide was low, but the views were still stunning, especially sitting close to the dramatic white cliffs. The beach was a little littered, likely from the day’s crowds, but overall still very enjoyable. Facilities are convenient with toilets nearby, a lifeguard station, and a bus stop just a 5-minute walk away. The surrounding area is dotted with beautiful residential houses and has a very quiet, relaxing feel. A lovely place to visit if you’re in Kent - perfect for an evening stroll or to unwind by the sea.

Botany Bay is a beautiful hidden gem with dramatic white cliffs, soft sand, and clear water. It’s quiet, clean, and perfect for relaxing, walking, or exploring the rock pools at low tide. Great views and photo spots! Highly recommend checking tide times before you go. One of the best beaches in Kent!

Awesome beach, good place parking available for £6 per day food is a bit expensive I suggest pack all food from your home Awesome place to spend time make sure you get umbrella and two chair and some swimming clothes as you can swim there is water is not deep. I really enjoy swimming and also you can rent umbrella and you also rent surfing board live jacket is nice place to visit if you need more info, please let me know thanks. Toilet also available there .

Nice beach with striking white cliffs and clean sand. Quiet and very scenic, and nice for a peaceful walk along the beach or just relaxing in the sand. Facilities are minimal though, and parking can be tricky especially if you're not early. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Nice beach..calm and went there on easter weekend..we didn't had much crowd there... Car park to beach is good 20-30 min walk through designated walking trails..... As this a blue flag beach, you won't find any shops near y by except one ice cream shop which closed by 4 pm..

It's ok. Was busy. Don't understand why people won't clean up after themselves. Doesn't hurt to take your rubbish back with you! Water was crystal clear. Parking was bit of an issue. But overall kids really enjoyed it. Walk around the cliff was nice.

Great Royal harbour always lovely to walk around and see the boats.

Its just beautiful, all year round. From warm sunny days, where you could be in foreign country! Sitting outside in one of the many bars.To the lead up to Christmas when the boats are lit up. It has to be on your bucket list.

This is a working marina so be prepared to see working boats and marine industry. It has a good feel to it with plenty of historical interest. Worth a visit.

5 stars for keeping the beauty of real marina. Full packed with amazing & experiences yachts. Love the clean water colour. Stormy clouds creating more dramatic views. A lot of drinking places, small cafes, restaurants around. U can see many dog walkers. Love this place

Summer at this royal harbour. Local restaurants, new facilities, well the toilet block on the pontoons is. Lovely over night stay.

Amazing place, relaxing and affordable 😎

A beautiful harbour to walk around and eat at some of the lovely restaurants, anytime of year. The most spectacular time to visit is Christmas as sailors decorate their boats with colourful Christmas lights.

Me and a friend turned up a little late for the last tour of the day, however thankfully we were let in anyway. Both tour guides Luke and Martin were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone in the area, tour ticket prices are about £9 per adult and well worth it !

We did the tour of Ramsgate Tunnels. Our tour guide was Gill. The tour was brilliant. It was done at a nice pace, very informative and with humour. You really get a flavour of what life was like during war time. The history of the tunnels was fascinating . The staff are all volunteers. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Gill, you are a star!

Ramsgate Tunnels is a significant attraction with a rich historical background mainly due to its contribution during World War II. The tour lead, who was a very knowledgeable guide, was absolutely brilliant where we were told about the vast history behind the plan and its execution and the role it played to protect thousands of families during the war. The temperature inside the tunnel remains at steady 11C throughout. The tour takes roughly 1 hour 30 mind and advance booking is recommended to avoid disappointments. We visited on 7th September where the British railways had numerous displays of 200 year history of the railways which we were so keen and excited to have a look. This is worth to visit and know about its history, significance as well as enjoy the genuine beauty of the well preserved site.

My sister and I paid a visit to the secluded war time tunnels in Ramsgate, we booked our places on the tour about an hour before. Then went for a walk. We paid £9 per adult which I think was a reasonable amount. The tour starts with a short video. Clive our main guide/volunteer was very informative with a sense of humour and the other 2 volunteers (I think were Trevor and ?Kevin?) were extremely patient & helpful, pointing out markings on the walls, lighting up areas with their torches so we could get better photographs . The tour was approx. 2 hrs. I would advise sensible footwear as in places it was a bit wet & slippery, some mats/boards were down so that your feet wouldn't get too wet. We enjoyed our tour and the museum. They also had a little cafe area at the entrance which we did not make the use of on this occasion. I would highly recommend a visit 👍🏻

Brilliant bit of history I didn't know was there!! Cheap to enter, well worth the hour and half tour. Not recommended for small kids.

A fascinating trip into Ramsgate's wartime past. Our guide, Kim, gave us insights into the experiences of the wartime residents of the town (with some mention of those from Margate too 😂). He made the visit even more interesting due to his enthusiasm and passion for the subject and the tunnels. We would highly recommend this tour.

Worth every penny of the tour cost. Tour guide Bruce was very knowledgeable and interesting, kept everyone captivated throughout. Lasted approximately 90 minutes. I highly recommended this tour.

A beautiful memorial to a sad time. The main part of the museum is basic but free. You can go outside and see the spitfires, aircraft pilot statue and memorial wall. I'd definitely recommend paying the small fee for "The scramble" which is a collection of information about the lead up to the battle of Britain and first hand stories. It also offers some dress up items and a simulator where you're a hurricane pilot. It also had a very moving film which is played every 30 minutes or so and everything else turns off, which I personally thought was great. Overall a great testament to those who gave their lives during that time. We also visited the shop, which was fairly priced and had some lovely things in. We paid a visit to the cafe, also reasonably priced, the cake was delicious and even though the weather was similar to a monsoon the views were beautiful.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Very thought provoking and ever grateful to the few. Easy car parking with cash at the machine or inside the visitor centre for cards. Nice cafe upstairs with stunning views, coffee wasn't the best I've tasted but the tea and cake were good and served by pleasant staff and all quite affordable. Easy to walk the grounds and join the coastal path east towards Dover should you wish.

Lovely memorial to all the very brave men who fought to protect their King and Country. There is one particular statue which is of a pilot looking out to sea,waiting for his friends to return, very sad, very poignant. There is nice visitors center. Plenty of parking. Free entry.

A beautiful tribute to pilots and aircrew who fought in the Battle of Britain. The Scramble Experience is well worth the small entry fee with lots of modern interactive displays and a basic flight simulator that is great fun. On site cafe is pretty good, gluten free cake available and a selection of non barista (i.e from a machine) drinks

Absolutely loved monument to the few, very beautiful. You only need ttickets for the scramble experience (we didn't do that). Lots of other things to see around the memorial, and with the right weather beautiful views, making the monument even more moving. Wonderful gift shop, with a lot of selection

I recently visited the Battle of Britain Memorial and really enjoyed it — the place is full of fascinating history about the fighter planes and the pilots, and the site itself offers beautiful views that make the visit both moving and memorable.

What a Great Memorial, dedicated to the brave fighter pilots, it's Free as well, unless you do the scramble experience, which was £7 an adult, which I highly recommend, dogs are welcome in the grounds, but not the building as there is a cafeteria in there, really glad we visited.

Steep narrow street with lots of amazing small shops and galleries. Worth a look if you don't mind the steep slope...

When my wife saw something she liked in the window i thought it would make an excellent Valentine’s present. I wasn’t going to be able to get there again in time to buy it without my wife knowing. I called the shop and armed only with a pretty poor description of the picture from me, they were able to identify and send to me exactly the thing I was after. Postage was fast - faster than quoted - cheap and of really good quality meaning the photo arrived in good time and great condition for me to frame up as a gift. I was also given some helpful advice on framing the picture which was most appreciated. All in all the picture looks lovely, iI couldn't be happier with the service and, most importantly, I have one very happy wife!

Never been to Folkestone before but would definitely go again. Loved the Creative Quarter with quirky independent shops and great bakeries and cafes. If you can get some of the local Dockers bread, do it, it's the most delicious bread ever!

Wonderful range of shops and businesses need to visit again when we have more time. Real arty vibe to the whole area and looks like probably lots of studio space

Very interesting place that offers a variety of things to choose from. The food us also particularly good. The only drawback is it closes very early considering that it's a tourist spot.

Lovely place to walk and be lost in the small boutiques , cafes and restaurants, be ready to walk up the hill if you are coming from the seaside, so bring your trainers or flat shoes , the area is very picturesque , the multicoloured buildings are so beautiful and the architecture is so nice and trendy

Very nice and creative road, shops are very unique

The Folkestone Harbour along with the Lighthouse is an iconic attraction for anyone visiting Folkestone. The place has a long history dating back in the 1900s. The photos along with the valuable information speaks a lot. The Harbour area was quite windy when we visited yesterday but Sun came out later and calmed the environment. There is an entertaining promenade with live music and food cafes along with good seating arrangements. A place worthy to visit in summer.

What an amazing place to spend a few hours (or maybe a full day). Absolutely loved what had been done with a disused railway station. There are some great bars eateries, offering exceptional views across the English Channel.

The harbour arm has been 'done up' and is very nice. There are lots of independent small market shops and places where you can eat and drink, a bit like Christmas Market huts. There is a big outdoor TV screen fir watching sports etc. Not sure whether all this is seasonal abd just maybe weekends out of season? But there are other places such as the very nice bar by the lighthouse, and a small brewery pub that I should imagine stays open more regularly. There is also a few fair rides. The views of folkestone are lovely from here too.

Enjoyed a lovely walk from Lower Leas car park along the promenade & boardwalk to the harbour arm. Here we stopped at the Champagne bar in the old lighthouse. Well worth a visit, nice cocktails and yummy charcuterie.

I adore Folkestone Harbour. The views are absolutely stunning, if you're visiting Folkestone, you simply cannot miss the Harbour Arm. Plenty of independent traders offering a great range of foods and drinks, there's truly something for everyone. Lots of different events and entertainment on throughout the year... I could go on and on!

My first visit to Folkstone to explore the colorful Artist Quarter. Lovely coffee shops open on a Sunday morning, already buzzing with people! Colours of painted shop fronts were joyful and welcoming as I walked down old High Street to the Harbour. Spectacular views east to fishing fleet and chalk cliffs. Beautiful tulips planted in a memorial garden. I loved this visit to Folkstone!

I visited Folkestone and found it to be a charming seaside town with a nice mix of history, coastal views, and places to relax — the harbor area is great for a stroll, and it’s a pleasant spot to enjoy the sea atmosphere.

Lovely converted Henry VIII castle into more of a stately homes, but still had a castle feel. Also now allowed into the apartments where the Queen Mother and other Lord Wardens used to spend time. This is where Wellington died as he was also Lord Warden here, Walmer being a important important Cinque port. Very pretty gardens to wander through as well, especially the moat garden and the marvellous cloud hedge. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely castle and gardens. Went on castle tour with Leslie, she was very knowable of the castle in the tudor period. Gardens were pretty. Cafe food was reasonably priced, tasty and home made. Would recommend we had a lovely day out.

Beautiful gardens and lovely castle with great history,try and choose a dry day as the grounds are lovely. All the volunteers were knowledgeable and the cafe was well stocked and reasonably priced

A wonderful place to visit, featuring a beautiful garden with stunning views and a very peaceful atmosphere. You can watch children playing in their designated area, and enjoy delicious food served at the tea room and the garden coffee shop.

Built by King Henry VIII in 1539-1540 as an artillery fort to defend the English coast from invasion by France and Spain. Walmer was one of three coastal "Device Forts" (along with Deal and Sandown) built to guard the vulnerable Downs anchorage. The short, squat, "clover-leaf" design with curved bastions was intended to deflect gunfire and mount heavy artillery. No invasion occurred, but the castle was actively garrisoned and saw military action during the Second English Civil War in 1648, when it was besieged by Parliamentarian forces. It has evolved from a military fortress into a seaside residence and the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. If you're a member it's ok, think it's a bit pricey for non- members.

Beautiful grounds and interesting history. The guides in the castle wete knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Lovely walks in the grounds suitable for most walking abilities though some areas have a number of steps.

We only got to see the gardens, because of time constraints, but they're worth a visit on their own. Although they're not extensive, they are packed with interest. The gardening team do a fantastic job of maintenance and there's not a weed to be seen. We'll soon get back to see the castle itself which promises to be full of surprises. In contrast to Deal Castle's spartan defensive role, Walmer became a comfortable, quirky residence.

Absolutely a fantastic place to visit oozing with history. The site is large so allow plenty of time. It's also hilly and within the castle there is a lot of stairs. The tunnels under the castle were fascinating especially if you have an interest in WWII. Though they date back to the late 1700s. Tours are run at regular intervals and the staff are extremely knowledgeable. All staff were helpful and nice. We were able to park on site but I imagine school holidays could cause an issue sometimes. There's is a carpack for disabled drivers much closer and on a flatter level near the castle itself. Plenty of toilets dotted around the grounds and a cafe and ice cream van as well as one serving hot drinks and snacks. Small p.ay area with climbing equipment for children. Great views over Dover and the port. Also visit the Saxon Church that is within the grounds.

Was a wonderful visit,went there with a friend of mine and we explored everything the castle had to offer. Under the castle there are some interesting tunnels with a lot of interesting stories. You will learn a bit about the war and the importance of the castle in the past. It's worth the money.

You could easily spend a whole day here visiting the various sections of the large site. Of special interest to us were the Secret War Tunnels. It is a 30-minute tour with an informed and entertaining guide. (Unfortunately no photos allowed.) There is no extra fee for the tour. It is included with your entrance fee. There is also a tour of the hospital tunnels which we didn’t have time to take but would have been interested to see. We also enjoyed seeing the castle which is furnished in replicas from the period which we didn’t expect. Again, the attendants were friendly and informed. On a nice day there are lovely picnic area to enjoy.

Travelled from Folkestone to visit the Castle on my way home to London and could have kicked myself as id left my bank card at the hotel so didn't manage to get inside the castle which was a disappointment. The grounds are stunning and the views over the harbour are exceptional.

There is so much to see here - definitely plan enough time! I would recommend buying tickets online, if you can. If not, you can drive up and park, then walk inside and purchase tickets in the gift shop in the main castle area at the top of the hill. The grounds are really well maintained and the staff is so friendly and helpful! The various tours close early, so be sure to hit them first, then tour the rest at your leisure. We started at the top, toured the tunnels, then went and did the two tours at the bottom before making the trek back up. (I would recommend this route) There is a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes! The views are incredible and there is so much to see. The only thing we weren’t a big fan of was the gaudy colors of the decorations in the main castle - they reminded us of a children’s play set - but that’s just our opinion. It definitely didn’t dampen the experience! There are ample restroom facilities located all around the property. It seemed like the kind of place that might be difficult to maneuver in a manual wheelchair, but we don’t use a wheelchair so there might be accommodations we didn’t see. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Brilliant place to visit. Be prepared to spend all day. Lots to see and do.Great tower, keep,old church and ancient lighthouse, ramparts, secret defence tunnels, wartime tunnels,various exhibitions, battlements, glorious views across Dover and the Channel. Definitely a English Heritage jewel.

Absolutely worth the visit. We were scheduled to board the ferry and had a few hours to ourselves. We visited the castle and were absolutely amazed at how much there is to see. The local guides were friendly and very informative - their knowledge, not only of the castle but general English history, is very impressive. This castle is well worth the visit.

Most of the time I catch the Euro tunnel as it's quicker. This time it was easier to catch the ferry. Taking a motorcycle was easy. Check in 60 mins before departure. Small holding area with overpriced burger king and WHS / facilities. Wait in line for boarding. When boarding on a bike ride on board and staff will direct you to the bike area. Ratchet strap your bike down and then make your way upstairs. Reverse process when returning. Tips for the ferry. When it's busy it can be noisy. Take the upper deck into the quite zone ( and be quiet) comfy chairs and peaceful areas. Access to your car or bike is restricted during the crossing. Gates and doors open approximately 10 mins before your dock. Overall it's an easy experience and if you want to relax for an hour then it's nice enough. Be prepared for certain areas to be busy and as always there are a few people who drink too much and make too much noise. Prices are expensive on board so bring your own food and drink. A good experience with P&O

Tried P&O morning sailing to Calias. Breakfast was ordered from an App and served in a cardboard box with plastic knives and forks by a polite person with a limited understanding of English. it was nothing special and left us both feeling hungry. We shall not be repeating this experience in the future. The alternatives are much better.

horrible experience. we missed our ferry because the traffic was diverted and although P&O was aware of the diversion, nothing was done to accommodate the ferry passengers. we arrived 1h and 15 minutes before the departure time by the way. on top of this, their ferry boarding system in ridiculously long and inefficient. save your money and buy a plane ticket.

This was my fifth time traveling with P&O. Normally, I travel with Eurotunnel for the speed of the journey (I’m Italian and I drive to Italy with my van at least once a year). The difference is very simple: if you’re not in a hurry, traveling with P&O is relaxing. If the weather is good, it’s wonderful to stay outside and enjoy the beauty of the sea a little trip within the trip. I always buy the Fully Flexi ticket, simply because it makes me feel more at ease. It’s fully refundable, and you can change your booking to any date and time you want to travel. I don’t have to worry about delays caused by traffic. I also paid for two people to access the Club Lounge, which gives you entry to the most exclusive area. It was absolutely peaceful, not crowded at all, with plenty of sofas and armchairs where you can enjoy the journey in total relaxation. There’s also a buffet (I must say this time it was a bit limited, but still good quality). Coffee, cappuccino, etc. are all included in the price. Free WiFi. Lifts and toilets for disabled passengers. The sea was completely calm and the trip was perfect. If you’re not in a hurry, it’s an excellent option. The price I paid for two people: Fully Flexi Ticket (VW Transporter Van), Dover–Calais, Club Lounge.
Price: £285 Absolutely recommended.

Always use them 2x a month for travel between Calais and Dover great ferry great people great service. Always helpful and clean ships Special shoutout to one of the crew in p&o liberte young guy called “bartek” absolute legend super polite and helped me in a tricky situation where I forgot something important in my vehicle in the vehicle deck definitely recommend

Dover to Calais Ferry looks good at first glance, but oh what a disappointment the food options are! Unless you like eating flacid, dried out vending machine hot food from a cardboard box. Exhorbitant prices too! Or, for an actual plate, you can pay £30 for a Club Lounge upgrade. Dreadful and hopefully, our last P&O.

The service on board in January was appalling! There was not many people, but the evening staff on that night were having a discussion while serving the customers. They could not be bothered from the reception to the bar, sadly I realised that there was a lack of commitments to P&O!

Lovely quiet place to stay we stayed for 2 weeks.We had nice walks to st margaret's bay. It's a bit hilly but you can follow the coast road right by the white cliffs. The accommodation is normal caravan holidays but ours was very comfy food in club was ok enjoyed the noodles they were tasty. swimming pools were brillant and they have adult only in the morning. The local pup the smugglers are friendly and food is A1 all in all a very enjoy able holiday would use parkdean again very helpfull

Got there and went to my "Bungalow" the website said it had its own parking, which it did not, that was one of the reason's why I booked it. The Staff said they have never had its own parking, so god only kows why the Parkdean website said it. They did say they would get the website updated. stayed in number 50. Where to start, Apart from the leccy Bathroom Radiator been on all the time, but very small. so towel drying was a joke the Rest of them was on 2 or 4 hour timers, the front room was only 2 hours max. So you would wake up and go into a cold room, I went in Nov 2025 so not the best time of year The bedroom ones only allowed upto 4 hours of heat, so again not great Now the timer had a bright blue light, which lite the bedroom up, so that was annoying. And as blue led's are one of the most dangerous colours to the human eyes, not the greatest. And the fact both bedroom ones made some strange ticking type sound, Been Autistic I use white noise to sleep, and this ticking sound was louder than that, so that did my head in and I had to turn the heating off. The Cooker was broken the light to say it had reached temp was missing, so hit and miss. Bathroom extractor fan never worked, the sink had something missing, its like a small trap that you can lift up and down to allow you to fill the sink up or epmty it, so if you dropped something into it, you would lose it. Also you could not sit down on the Toilet without having the toilet roll and holder been in the way. Net curtains over only the windows in the front living area, NOT THE DOOR so no Privacy, had to close curtains when going out, just so people could not look in No lights on the front of the bungalow area ( yes auto light on the side) but bright LED street lamp on the back where the bedrooms are so that also came in on a night time while trying to sleep. The hedge on the way out of the site, if you had the nerve to be turing right, you had to pull out into the road, just to see past the hedge to see if it was clear, does not look bad in the picture bit it was I have never had breakfast at one of these sites, so we gave it a go, Turned up at 9:04am, told nothing cooked as they had only opened at 9:00am, which is fair enough, but then had to wait 50 minutes to get the Breakfast. The Glass was vey old and covered in marks, like no salt in the dishwasher type marks The beans where luke warm but the rest of the meal was fine On the day we left, my Son forgot his house key for where he lives, and they called me and said they would post it back to me, and said they would put it in an envelope and it would get posted back to me, which i was thinking that was nice of them but Today 6 days later, still no letter with Key and after I called the site, The woman got a bit mardy, saying that the staff only work part time and they would have to do it in their own time and also post it in their own time back to me. Which is not what I was told on the day they called me Then we went in both pools the small one has steps/ladder that are loose and moved when you stepped on them, the main pool was not much better not fixed right at all Hot water was a joke too, only enough for half a sink full, then nothing for hours while it heated up again

What a fantastic relaxing stay !! Been using Parkdean Parks for many years in Cornwall when visiting family and this is the first time we’ve stayed in a different park. I can honestly say that it is the best we’ve stayed at and was exactly what we were hoping for. Love the pools, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The park is quiet and very clean, with friendly helpful staff. Our caravan was really clean and in a perfect position for us. We love the park so much, we’re thinking about buying a caravan or bungalow so we can make it a more regular place to be when not working

We stayed in October and loved the Park, a great location for exploring the coast around Dover. We upgraded to a Prestige Lodge which was very comfortable, with plenty of room for 3 people! We found the beds comfy, and it was nice having 2 bathrooms. The site was small and quiet which suited us. The facilities were good with a pool and sauna. Wish we'd stayed longer!

Had a Lovely Caravan stay.Very clean on arrival. The park was in a Lovely setting for a Break and near some interesting places to visit. The staff were friendly. We had a check from the Housekeeping staff one day into our holiday to make sure we were happy with everything

Was quite a good serene location. Peaceful. They created activities that will make kids enjoy their stay. E.g aquajet, Waterwalker. etc. Staff member were quite helpful. Location- You can board a ferry 1 hour to France for the day. 41, miles from sandy beach. Would need to drive to enjoy your stay here Did not use gym, but looks okay. Hot tub seem quite old. Seem like a very old park. Some features looks dated, but good

Fantastic park, small and quiet not like the bigger ones. Ideal for our family. We had a great time here. Fabulous swimming pool and facilities and great evening entertainment.

I visited the White Cliffs of Dover for about an hour and hiked all the way to the lighthouse — it’s a wonderful place for walking and even having a picnic, with amazing views along the way, though the smell from the ships and boats near the pier was a bit unpleasant.

The White Cliffs of Dover are absolutely breathtaking! The views are stunning, and walking along the cliffs is both peaceful and invigorating. The trails are well-maintained, and there are plenty of spots to stop and take photos. A perfect place for nature lovers, history enthusiasts. Highly recommend going early for the best views and to avoid crowds.

Lovely 30-40 min walk to get to the lighthouse. Cute cafeteria as well for a nice lunch. Lovely tourist attraction. Great if you have a national trust membership. Highly recommend.

The White Cliffs left me with an unforgettable impression. 🌅 The sunset painted the sky and cliffs in golden hues, and the sunlight seemed to bring their whiteness to life — it was pure magic. I listened to the melodic songs of birds and was delighted to spot a family of wild hares hiding among the grass. The autumn scenery around was breathtaking, and I can only imagine how even more vibrant and warm it must be in summer. My walk was filled with joy and tranquility, and I will definitely return. This place is truly iconic in England — it’s something everyone should see with their own eyes. The roads are excellent, the area is well-kept, and the cozy café with delicious cream tea and attentive staff makes the visit even more enjoyable. The White Cliffs are not just a natural landmark; they are a feeling of harmony, beauty, and a true blessing. 🏔️💖💖💖

Great coastal path from the National Trust white cliffs car park, free for members,(otherwise there's an expensive charge) you don't see a lot of the white cliffs walking this way, unless you walk down to the beaches, and they don't look as white, I think the views from a far look a lot better, but it's still a lovely walk, and you get 3 National Trust sites on your walk, Fan bay deep shelter, wanstone Gun battery and the lighthouse, so a great day 😊.

Its amazing Dover cliffs i got a few pictures the picture was taken the second time when I went Dover but the second time when I went Dover I didn't walk in the clifs I was on a ferry but the cliffs are cool its perfect for pictures

A must-see! We took the train from London, walked to the waterfront through the town — lovely architecture and friendly residents, but surprisingly, a somewhat depressed area. We made our way to the top of the cliffs via the foot path, but you may drive or take a taxi to the top, which has a visitor center and cafe. The late-afternoon August sunlight beautifully highlighted the cliffs and hills. On a clear day, you can see the cliffs of France. One visit is not enough!

This lighthouse is managed by National Trust and as always has a lovely set of volunteers who are very polite and friendly. The lighthouse tour is one I will recommend. They provide a very informative and absorbing story telling session. Views of the English channel and surrounding areas from the lighthouse are absolutely stunning. The site has a shop, tea rooms and toilet facilities. Parking for NT members is about a mile away, but the walk is beautiful.

The lighthouse is a little underwhelming, but the walk there and back from Devon is gorgeous. Grateful thanks to the NT for acquiring and preserving this spectacular coast line. Good foot path and well signposted. Its about an hour of moderate walking each way.

We had a great tour of the lighthouse, the current lighthouse, built in the 1840s, was the first in the world to use an electric light and a key site for pioneering wireless communication, free for National Trust members. There is only 1 way two get there, and that is two walk, but there are 2 different car parks to choose though, that is the National Trust white cliffs car park or St Margaret's village, it was a lovely walk from the National Trust car park, and don't forget to visit the 2 other great National Trust sites on the way, Fan bay deep shelter and Wanstone Gun Battery.

Great location for a Pitstone if you walked the trail. The lighthouse itself is interesting to visit plus grabbing some refreshments and chilling with the fantastic channel views on a sunny day is just perfect.

While hiking the White Cliffs of Dover, we made a stop in to grab a quick cuppa tea and a snack. It’s a great little light house with an amazing view! We had the cream tea service. First time for me and it was delicious! It’s a nice half way point for a great hike and a nice little stop and visit. Go check it out and meet the tea room crew!

This hidden gem on the south coast is absolutely magnificent and I cannot recommend it enough. I love the way that you have to hike about 50 minutes from the visitor centre to get there which gives you a real sense of adventure. The tickets for the tour are very reasonably priced and you get to see all the different levels and learn about the role they played in the day to day running of the lighthouse. As well as the day to day work to ensure the safety of shipping in the vicinity, there was also pioneering work done here in the development of radio and electricity. There are fascinating artefacts, stunning views out over the channel, mesmerising machinery and passionate National Trust staff that will make sure you have a really great time. There is a cafe, gift shop and toilets, picnic benches, deck chairs - everything you might need.

Great place for a walk. WARNING; Check what network your connected to before using your phone as mine was sometimes connecting across the channel 😀
