This historic Cathedral is well worth a visit, as is Canterbury with its Medieval and Roman history. I recommend Tiny Tims Tea room, a must-have for a cream tea, but only have one between two as the scones are enormous.

Why not visit Herne Bay Pier, this pier was once the second-longest in the world, sadly it was damaged over 40 years ago by a storm. Now it has been turned into a mini funfair with lots of beach hut style shops where you can buy beach memorabilia. There are a number of arcades along the seafront where you can play the slot machines and maybe a game of pool. You could get some fish and chips, or an Ice cream and watch the world go by on one of the many benches

This is a lovely spot for a walk for a good pint on a sunny evening. 40 minutes along the seafront to sit outside and watch a beautiful sunset. Have a meal, they have a small menu but the food is delicious and quite well priced.
