Had an amazing time playing the wild West room with a few of my friends, some of the puzzles were incredibly inventive and the room really made us work as a team, which was fun. Janos was a great host, giving just the right amount of hints to keep things fun. Also, in this place if you don't finish you can get an explanation of where you went wrong and how much you had left, which is very interesting. Overall a great experience and will come back when the new room opens in 2020.

Babbling Brook of Waterside

Based on the grounds of the Waterside Primary Academy school. Discovered in 2020 after a gardening session on the grounds led to the discovery of 'The Babbling Brook', a long lost natural water feature. It has been classed as 'The talk of Chesham' with locals flocking to see its beauty.

White Horse Hill

Dated to about 1400 BC, this mysterious figure is carved into a chalk hillside just below an Iron Age hill fort and can only be seen in its entirety by air.

Reviewed By roman_roader - Greater London, United Kingdom

A perfect day for a visit - sunny with a breeze to keep us cool. There is a charge to use the car park though it’s free if you’re a National Trust member. I would not advise picnicking in the field on the walk from the car park. There will be sheep ticks!

The Shell Grotto

Pre-booking essential. The Shell Grotto is one of the world’s most mysterious places: a series of underground rooms and passageways covered by 2000sqft of exquisite mosaic created with 4.6 million shells. Discovered in 1835, nobody knows who created it, when, or why. “The grotto is simultaneously haunting and homely. It could be a lost pagan shrine or have ‘A Present From Margate’ picked out in the shells - it wouldn’t matter. It’s still magical, mysterious and (once it’s in your head) impossible to forget.” Far From the Sodding Crowd: More Uncommonly British Days Out, Penguin Books.

This is only a very small attraction but well worth a visit .. Had to prebook ticket due to the Covid-19 situation ... Amazing and mysterious display of shells lining a tunnel and underground room .. Friendly staff and nice gift shop .. Well worth a visit when in Margate :-)

Blowing Stone

Reviewed By martent691 - Oxford, United Kingdom

Whilst the children won’t say that it was better than Disneyland there is a certain charm in this old Sarsen Stone. Explanatory leaflet for sale alongside for 20p. (All monies go to up keeping church fabric ‘ Just on the RHS coming down Blowing Stone Hill with parking space opposite. Maybe best to not blow into stone in these infectious times , Carry on down the hill cross the x roads and 400 yards along is the spectacular church of St John the Baptist in Kingston Lisle village. Fully refurbished this C12 church is wonderful with medieval wall paintings , C16 woodwork and Victorian stained glass. a beautiful serene space (ok I’m biased as I’m Church Warden!) . The two attractions and a walk on the Ridgeway make for a great day out.

Margate Caves

Currently closed within government guidelines. A subterranean adventure awaits at the Margate Caves. The Caves have a varied past; from chalk mine to rich mans folly and Victorian tourist attraction. What will you discover at the Caves?

Reviewed By andyayres8 - Northampton, United Kingdom

We really loved this place. It’s a quirky little hidey hole in every sense. It’s a pleasant way to while away a few hours. It’s not too difficult to get around and the history behind it is very interesting. Afterwards it’s well worth a sit down in the cafe for a coffee and amazing cakes. There are other very tasty food items but the cakes are fantastic.

Uffington Castle

White Horse Hill is crowned by a Celtic fort called Uffington Castle, lying some 500 feet above sea level, and dating from the seventh century BC.

Reviewed By 71flojo - Newbury, United Kingdom

Decent walk from National Trust car park towards the White Horse. The castle has no ruins just a high grass area over a large ditch surrounded by sheep but great views all round.
