I have to say, this is not a very interesting part of the UK. Kent is known as “the garden of England”, but I fail to see why. It’s dull and flat, the beaches are just pebbles, the towns are boring, it’s hard to find anything worth photographing. But we try…

Houses in Folkestone – that sky hardly looks British, does it?

Folkestone Harbour
City Walls of Canterbury and daffodils – spring is here!

King Ethelbert and Queen Bertha, who are the reason Christianity became established in England at Canterbury. See Wikipedia for details. Behind is the City Wall and Canterbury Cathedral. The cathedral is hardly visible around the city, you have to pay about £10 each to go in the grounds, and it didn’t look anything special, so didn’t bother.

Another bit of cathedral.

Cathedral Gate. Canterbury is the second most visited city in the country, probably because it is so near the Channel Tunnel. You see hordes of French schoolchildren every afternoon, probably come over for the day. They are much better dressed than us, aren’t they?

As you can see it is along the same lines as Lincoln and York, but not as nice.

Marlowe Theatre.

Thomas a Becket Church, Romney Marsh.

The 1/3 size Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, the smallest railway in the world, and Colin, in matching livery.

One of those pebble beaches I mentioned, this one at Deal.
We are now at Brighton!
