Don't forget you can get lots of information at http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Kent This will be another two day tour of Kent starting tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, so I'll pick out the highlights from the information on POE and perhaps everyone will fill in any gaps with information, suggestions, recommendations, pictures on Saturday. I love to see your contributions and it all adds to the pool of information for those deciding what they should see in each County and to plan their routes. We spent the night in Rye, East Sussex, now we will cross the Romney Marsh to Hythe. Romney Marsh has a Visitor's Centre, guided tours, cycle rides and countryside events, so there is lots going on here. Unfortunately the only pic I found for Romney Marsh was this one Picture by Cathy Longley

Places to see in Folkestone include The Harbour, The Lees Gardens where on a clear day you are supposed to be able to see France, The 13th Century Church of St Mary & St Eanswythe, the Battle of Britain Museum and a Butterfly Centre.
