Panoramic Photo Pictures of Kent and Dorset, England
CLICK TITLE BELOW TO SEE ALL PICTURES
All these images have been photographed over the past few years. The views here are just the start and will be added to as the months go by. Each season brings new opportunities to capture different parts of England on camera and it sometimes means getting up at ridiculous times to have the light in the right place. Even then you don’t always get the photo you wanted!
Faversham is a market town on the North East coast of Kent. Although not on the sea, it is connected to the Thames Estuary by a creek that flows into the Swale. The town has many fine restaurants, pubs and other attractions. The walk to Hollow Shore along the creek is a must.
Herne Bay is on the North Kent Coast and a few miles north of Canterbury. From the beach you can see Southend, Isle of Sheppey, The Maunsell Sea Forts, The Wind Farm and Reculver that lies just a few miles up the coast.
Deal is an attractive seaside town with many items of interest. It has a pier, two castles, two small museums and a long High Street which has managed to maintain many of its independent shops. There is a beautiful walk to the north which goes past Walmer Castle through Kingsdown, St Margaret's Bay and, if you wish, can lead you to Dover. The narrow streets are filled with interesting architecture that hasn't changed over the years and each corner brings something different.
Gravesend sits on the south bank of the Thames, opposite Tilbury in Essex. The town has many historic buildings and places of interest both along the river and in the town.
The River Medway runs through the centre of Maidstone down to Rochester and out into the Thames Estuary. It is Kent’s county town and boasts a large shopping centre.
Rochester is situated on the River Medway and is best known for its castle and cathedral. The High Street consists of many small independent shops selling a wide selection of items.
This seaside town on the Isle of Thanet has one of Kent’s largest marinas on the south coast with an inner and outer harbour. To the south of Ramsgate lies the White Cliffs and beach of Pegwell bay.
Folkestone sits on the south coast between Hythe and Dover. The harbour holds boats of all shapes and sizes, some fishing, some pleasure. The walks along the cliffs out of Folkestone give wonderful views of the coast.
Tonge Mill sits to the east of Sittingbourne just outside Bapchild and is a favourite place to walk the dog or take the children to feed the ducks.
Broadstairs is one of those little coastal towns that has all the ingredients to make you feel you are on holiday. It has not changed or lost its character as the years have gone by and holds onto its seaside charm.
I should have more pictures of Canterbury as it is such a beautiful and important city. Most famous for it’s cathedral it has many fascinating buildings and places of interest.
Hythe is a small coastal market town on the edge of Romney Marsh on the south side of Kent. The busy High Street has many small independent shops that aren't available in bigger towns.
Dover is famous for its Castle, White Cliffs and its Channel Port but there are many other attractions that should bring people in. Beautiful walks take you over the cliffs and on a clear day give wonderful views of the Channel and France.
Whitstable is on the North Coast of Kent and is home to many interesting places. The harbour is still used by fishing boats and the fish markets are enjoyed by both locals and visitors. Seasalter and Tankerton are both in easy walking distance along the beach.
The Beach Huts at Hengistbury Head have stunning views across the Solent on the east side and Christchurch Harbour on the west side. The beautiful beach at Southbourne stretches along Poole Bay through Bournemouth as far as Sandbanks.
