Reviewed By DrAnnaSG - Canterbury, United Kingdom
We take our grandchildren ages 4 and 6 here all the time. Great experiences for them and all for free. There are wonderful flowers and shrubs and wildflower places and stunning sea views. There is always something to look at. We highly recommend this place for parents and grandparents who do not want to spend a fortune but want their little ones to be safe and active. It’s not often you get a facility like this for free

Thought we would visit a museum on our doorstep. Fantastic for a rainy day. Cameras are not allowed. Ask a member of staff to take a family photo for you, they are very helpful :)
3. Battle of Britain Memorial
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 623 reviews
A Memorial to the men of the Battle of Britain alongside a modern interpretation centre that brings to life the victory 'the Few' achieved over the Luftwaffe in 1940. A place of quiet pilgrimage coupled with a high-tech and interactive visitor centre - plus fantastic views over The Channel from our first-floor cafe. Shop and coach parking.

As promenades go this is peaceful and quiet with good views out to see. Plenty of seats, very little traffic on the road (which is set back from the walkway). Some refreshment places along the way too. Gentle uphill gradient away from town.

I used to love this pub, and restaurant. But sadly the staff recently have taken a massive turn for the worse. They are extremely miserable, unwelcoming, unhelpful. I don't really have anything positive to say other than - great location in the summer and please get some better staff!
