For a darker taste of the past, visit the fascinating collection of more than 1,000 skulls in the ossuary at St Leonard’s Church in Hythe or see the imposing Martello Towers constructed to defend our coast during the Napoleonic war.

Or simply spend a day, a weekend or longer enjoying the incredible beaches along Kent's heritage coast or immersed in rural beauty of the North Downs and evocative Romney Marsh.
