A day trip to Whitstable with a little walk to Herne Bay

Whitstable (/ˈwɪtstəbəl/) is a town on the north coast of Kent adjoining the convergence of the Swale Estuary and the Greater Thames Estuary in southeastern England,[2] five miles (eight kilometres) north of Canterbury and two miles (three kilometres) west of Herne Bay. The 2011 Census reported a population of 32,100 The town, formerly known as Whitstable-on-Sea,[3] was famous for its 'Native Oysters' which were collected from beds beyond the low water mark from Roman times until the mid-20th century. The annual Whitstable Oyster Festival takes place during the summer. In 1830, one of the earliest passenger railway services was opened[4] by the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway Company. In 1832 the company built a harbour and extended the line to handle coal and other bulk cargos for the City of Canterbury. The railway has closed but the harbour still plays an important role in the town's economy. The railway route, known as The Crab and Winkle Line, is now a cycle path which leads to the neighbouring city of Canterbury. Whitstable, on the south east coast, is somewhere to go for an invigorating walk along the seafront and a couple of plates of oysters. If, like me, you aren’t partial to oysters, you can guarantee you’ll get a great portion of fish and chips here, from any one of the local chippies that have been knocking about since the ‘50s. Whitstable is all about the food — seafood, obviously — and is home the ever popular annual Whitstable Oyster Festival. Every time I’ve been to this particular stretch of the Kent Riviera (other hot spots include Faversham, Broadstairs and Margate) it’s blown a gale, so I associate Whitstable with somewhere to go to blow away the cobwebs, and love a winter walk here past the bright rainbow-hued beach huts — just so long as you’ve remembered to wrap up warm. Whether you’re visiting just for the afternoon, or spending a couple of days this way, here are some good starting points for soaking up the very best of this seaside town Tankerton Beach The tranquil setting offers a rural getaway for those looking for safe bathing and well managed facilities. From the attractive Marine Parade promenade grassy banks gently slope down to a shingle beach characterised by pretty wooden huts and an established sailing club. At low tide a long pleasant walk can take you right out to sea - ideal for paddling and exploring rock pools and sealife. Tankerton's distinctive grassy area makes a perfect sport for a family picnic or simply for relaxing and taking in the magnificent views. A shingle beach and wooden groynes are reminiscent of an England that is so familiar in postcards of old. At low tide long pleasant walk known as 'The Street' can take you right out to sea. The Tankerton Slopes are popular with families during the summer, where they play on the green and swim in the sea. Hampton is the coastal west end of Herne Bay, Kent, England. Formerly the site of the village of Hampton-on-Sea, the settlement is underwater due to massive coastal erosion, but it was on the west side of the northern end of Hampton Pier Avenue, between the 1959 sea defences and the remains of the sea wall which are exposed at low water in Hampton bay.[1] When Hampton-on-Sea existed and until 1934, the Hampton-on-Sea site was under the jurisdiction of Blean Rural District Council, the boundary with Herne Bay Council running north–south along the line of the present-day Hampton Pier Avenue.[2] In 1934, the area was transferred to Herne Bay Urban District Council,[3] and in 1974 to Canterbury City Council. Herne Bay /hɜːrn/ is a seaside town on the north coast of Kent in South East England. It is 6 miles (10 km) north of Canterbury and 4 miles (6 km) east of Whitstable. It neighbours the ancient villages of Herne and Reculver and is part of the City of Canterbury local government district, although it remains a separate town with countryside between it and Canterbury. Herne Bay's seafront is home to the world's first freestanding purpose-built Clock Tower, built in 1837. From the late Victorian period until 1978, the town had the second-longest pier in the United Kingdom.
