Seaside and fantastic countryside in one trip in the UK? You need to go to Kent! Only 1.5 hours from London, the county is full to the brim with seaside towns and beaches, quirky villages, beautiful landscapes and child-friendly activities. We have already been to Kent once and, having liked it so much, we went again one weekend in July.
Our first stop was the Historic Dockyard Chatham, which used to be a working dockyard in the past. Due to the river bed becoming smaller, it is now no longer possible to build and repair ships of a considerable size. As a result of this, the dockyard was closed as a working facility, however a museum is now open for all of us to learn about ships and submarines and see how the dockyard looked back in the day.
