Folkestone, Dungeness and back to Canterbury

Our last day in Kent and we headed down to Folkestone which proved much easier to drive through than we had anticipated. Taking the Hythe road we found ourselves in Sandgate and stopped by the sea for coffee …

We then drove through Hythe and on to Dymchurch where we saw this Martello Tower …

On the minor road to Dungeness we found a free (!) car park so we stopped to give Hamish a run on the beach …

He had a great time as it’s quite a few days since we’ve found a dog-friendly one. There was nobody else around but we saw these lovely old boats pulled up on the pebbles …

this one was definitely not sea-worthy …

After lunch there was a tooting and a train appeared on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch railway …

We now continued along the road until we reached Dungeness …

and then made our way back inland towards Ashford. After skirting around the town we found a cross-country road with a field of poppies …

and a field of plastic which was a strawberry farm …

Back to the campsite and a comment on Kent – Glad we came here but we won’t be rushing back! We haven't seen any oast houses or hops!
