Whitstable, Kent, England

STAYCATION: Whitstable

On the move again... at last!

Whitstable is an English seaside town in Kent, England. It is not far from London, about an hour’s drive. It is great for a day trip. Alternatively,  combine it with a tour of Kent, the Garden of England.

The town is famous for its annual oysters festival. It is a seafood paradise. So  if you are a foodie like me, you will love it.

There is a small working harbour and lots of places to sample the seafood on offer.  The atmosphere is wonderful. It is quite relaxing and pleasant. No rush and just a leisurely stroll round, taking in the wonderful atmosphere.  

 You will also enjoy strolling down the high street with its independent shops. Again, no rush, just taking it easy.

My experiences

  • Taking in the atmosphere of an English seaside town
  • Enjoying the freshest of seafood particularly the oysters
  • Watching the whelks and oysters fishermen at work in the working harbour
  • Strolling down the High Street and checking out the independent shops

I could not resist two plates of oysters - with different toppings, yummy!
