Day excursions

A seafront amusement park, sand and shingle beaches, busy city centre and fish ‘n’ chip shops leading down to the country’s longest pier; Essex’s Southend-on-Sea has all the trappings of a classic British seaside resort.

The Kent County Show is the region’s showcase event for farming, agriculture and countryside life. Various animals including horses, vintage vehicles, retail stands and much more converge on the stunning surroundings of the Kent Showground for a celebration of the best in the county.

A wonderful day visiting two great Kentish seaside towns, firstly Herne Bay and then later we drive to Whitstable for the rest of the afternoon.

There’s simply no other place like it. Breath-taking beauty, cobbled streets and stunning shorelines make this corner of the Kentish coast one of the best places to visit and explore.

One of our most popular days out to the coast, Eastbourne has plenty to see and do whatever the weather, with a lovely promenade, fine shopping and lots of cafes and bars.
