Tales of Faversham and Whitstable – with Blue Badge Guide Tuesday 7thJuly
A day spent exploring Kent’s Royal Ports of Kings; Faversham and Whitstable, the jaunty seaside town famous for its oysters. Though they are only a few miles apart they are both very different in character. Faversham has a fascinating and ancient history. On Liz’s guided tour we will hear about the stories attached to some of the listed and delightful buildings, apart from King’s we have saints, adventures and even an infamous murder case. We continue on our journey to the small seaside village of Tankerton, where lunch will be provided at a local hotel overlooking the sea. Then it’s off to Whitstable for the afternoon, starting with the option of a guided walk with free time afterwards to perhaps choose a café for tea. On the walk Liz will share stories about the Whitstable characters, its deep sea diving history, the oyster industry, the harbour and we will be taken down Squeeze Gut Alley! Others may wish to browse the afternoon in the many quirky shops or on the beach.
We will meet Liz at Dobbies Garden Centre in Ashford when we stop for coffee.
This trip does include a 2 course meal of Fish & chips with bread and butter followed by 2 scoops of ice-cream and tea and normal coffee for afterwards. Specialty coffee is at your own expense. The eatery is at The Marine Hotel Tankerton near Whitstable. Drinks can be bought at the bar area.
We will depart for home at 4.45pm when in Sandwich.
