“She’s got a ticket to Rye’
The Tiny Bookshop apparently has.closed That's a loss.There's a good art gallery in the town. Lots of cafes (and as ska invita said, pubs). There's a good tiny bookshop also a cinema in what looks like someone's courtyard. It's a good place for meandering. There's generally quite a few local events.
Sound mirrors are awesome but I thought they might be a bit tricky as they involve trekking over shingle. If that's not a problem and depending on when you're there, there's an RSPB open day on the 21st of September. Means you can actually get up really close and have an interesting history of them, although I hear there are lots of snakes!!!If you get a bus or train whenever Mrs DlR is issued a ticket start singing:
“She’s got a ticket to Rye’
This will be mildly amusing the first couple of times but you could continue till it’s beyond anoying…
Also, the sound mirrors are great.
I’m a hippy, not an Ewok.
It is indeed ace, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for Danny as it has steep, narrow steps.The view from up the church tower is ace and worth the cost of admission
I can't believe that two people have mentioned Dungeness and even worse @Puddy_Tat has mentioned cliff railway but no mention of this; a great little railway
a drive around Dungeness is good, maybe even go on the mini train
more on the romney, hythe and dymchurch railway here.
Sorry. I missed yet. Worth a full proper mention. I've been trying to get back there for over a year now.
There are views across Romney Marsh from the viewpoint at the end of the High St. (near the Fig)I do. And all of nature and its bounties.
I like to forest bathe, gaze upon bodies of water, contemplate scenic vistas, and commune with the outdoors (but not sleep the night in it).
It's a castle and a musem. You should definitely visit as my mum volunteers there.rye has a castle, but may not have been built to be very accessible.
and don't forget Camber Castle while you're there. A weird little folly and a fine site for bird watching.If you've a car. Camber Sands for the beach. Dungeness for weirdness and Derek Jarman's cottage (outside only).
My dad lives near Tenterden and does voluntary work in the museum there. If you want to do a ghost story extravaganza in the evening he’s your man. Urban demographic perhaps a bit young for that too.Another beautiful town and a cinque port to boot is Tenterden. Somewhere near tenterden is the Three Chimneys public house which was a glorious old pub the last time I visited. There is of course the Kent and East Sussex railway which will take you to Bodiam Castle.

I thought I had a monopoly on parental museum volunteers in the area.My dad lives near Tenterden and does voluntary work in the museum there. If you want to do a ghost story extravaganza in the evening he’s your man. Urban demographic perhaps a bit young for that too.
