Obviously (even though this is a virtual tour, lol) we cannot visit everywhere in such a short space of time, so I am really hoping that POE members will add all the places we couldn't see, or tell us a little more of the history of the places we did, and add pictures, stories, information, recommendations, comments, etc. Enjoy your tour of North & West Kent tomorrow and I will meet up again with you soon to disclose where the next English County Whistle Stop Tour will be. Until then take care, have fun, and travel safely. |
