Where to Go in Kent, South East: Top 11 Attractions & Local Favorites

Jack Barnes Shout out to the woodlands management team past and recent! Although much of what I ventured onto was plantation, it felt sympathetic to the surroundings. Loved seeing so much clusters of Birch, interestingly they were the first trees to begin inhabiting ancient Britain. Plenty of variety of fungi throughout the woodland for all you mycologists! which is also a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem;)

Davinder Sharma Had a lovely Saturday afternoon swimming in the sea. The water was warm sea was calm. It was ver relaxing.

Sian Eirlys Foulkes Work on the Apron of the Windmill is being undertaken commencing the 20th of October. Renovation of the windmill

mark swan Very quiet and peaceful woods. Went around 11pm and had the quite magical experience of hearing nightingales singing under a full moon, thatll stay with me forever :-)

SlumberBeast Herne Bay Pier has everything you need for a proper seaside day out. There are loads of little shops selling all sorts of fun things you never knew you wanted, tasty spots to grab a bite, and even an arcade that happily eats your spare change while you chase a stuffed toy that you’ll never win. The rides add a nice touch of nostalgia, and the whole place has a cheerful, old-school charm that just makes you smile.

Kate Douglas Wildwood is fantastic to visit and I loved coming back for the first time as an adult. I used to go here all the time back in the early 00s with my parents and decided to pop back in for the nostalgia trip this afternoon. The park is really well laid out and clearly signposted so that you can decide exactly how much you want to see on each visit. I can see how this would benefit young families managing play area time and toilet trips in between viewing the animals. There are a great range of animals to see and they are clearly very well looked after. I appreciate that while most of the enclosures can be viewed from all sides, the animals are given plenty of places within to retreat to should they wish to get away from the people. That being said, I was impressed at how many were awake and moving around given that it was a cold winters day. All in all, a great half day out for an adult or full day for a family. Fab value for money that is clearly being invested back into the park.

Emma Berry Gorgeous place, right by the sea. Well kept, tranquil and so pretty! Really lovely views, some nice benches to watch the world go by. Very close to lots of local cafés and restaurants, nice ice creams close by! The pier is lovely too with small huts selling local produce.

Lee Whitear Amazing English Heritage site, free to enter, car park close by. Great views, historical plaques, cafe and toilets closeby. Dog friendly. Its also an Admiralty Navigation Marker.

Caleb Payne Walk here frequently with my children and friends, if youre going expecting to see the bison and other wild animals, dont get your hopes up! Encounters are very few and far between, beautiful place full of walks to suit every level of fitness.

Nichola Wheatley A great new years day adventure, it was cold but we were given a free hot drink and the animal didnt seem to care, lots were out and about, a friendly otter came to see us, as well as the red squirrel, elk, lynx, wallabies, artic foxes, bison, owls and lots more. We saw the polecats and bever snug in their burrows and caught the wild cat and wolves feeding which was a bonus.

Dane Visited their Stone Age exhibit. What an insane collection of flint hand axes from the local area they have. Truly a collection that rivals some of the big museums in London. Some amazing artefacts from different eras too! Amazing little museum and a must visit!
