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.

Firstly we spend the morning in the beautiful Cathedral City of Chichester. After time here we travel the short distance for an afternoon at the Weald & Downland Living Museum, most famous as being the home of the TV programme, The Repair Shop.

A day out at two traditionally quaint seaside resorts on the Essex coast.

We travel to the beautiful city of Canterbury with its imposing cathedral and weekly market. After time here, we head to Plucks Gutter and a traditional three course lunch in this renowned public house, beautifully located on the river.

A visit to the quaint town of Faversham which is home to Britain’s oldest working brewery and has a fascinating array of shops. Our afternoon is spent nearby on the coast at Whitstable, famed for its locally caught oysters.
