For the tourist visitor to Sandwich its well worth spending half an hour here to look round this small museum which gives a great timeline prospective of Sandwich from Roman times to the present day. Come on who remembers from their English school history lessons that Sandwich used to be on the coast seven hundred years ago and Thanet was really an island? Some good artefacts and interesting descriptions and a very enthusiastic volunteer guide who was very helpful and made sure we didn’t miss the historic courtroom downstairs that was open for our visit.

Sandwich Wildlife Park is Kent’s newest venue for up close and personal encounters of the wild kind, where you can meet some of your favourite animals. If you liked the surroundings of the Rare Species Conservation Center and the feel of Wingham Wildlife Park, you’re going to love Sandwich Wildlife Park – WWP’s brand new sister park! Our coffee shop on the other hand is now open so if you’re in Sandwich, passing by or on your way to Wingham Wildlife Park why not pop in for a barista style coffee by Lavazza and a slice of cake or panini.

I got brought the sloth experience at Sandwich Wildlife Park as a birthday present and it was absolutely amazing! We arrived for the experience a little early so sat & had a tea in the cafe there, the ladies working in there were lovey & very friendly, wishing me a good experience & asking how it was afterwards. The girl who showed me around on the experience was a girl named Georgia, she was very friendly & knowledgable. She also took lots of pictures on my phone of me with the sloth which was good of her. After being able to stroke & feed Sid the sloth, you get taken around on a little tour looking at the other animals at the centre and asking any questions you wanted. Overall I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

I spent a really interesting couple of hours at Richborough Castle today. I had visited this site many years ago but was keen to revisit to see the recently installed art installation, which replicates the sound of galloping horses. The atmospheric site was made even more enjoyable by an extremely knowledgable and personable tour guide, who really brought the site alive for me. So many interesting facts and information, not only about this site but also Roman history in general. There is a small museum and shop where you can buy gifts and refreshments. On a good day it's an ideal place for a picnic.

I have visited Sandwich Bay on a few occasions and at low tide it is a magical place as one can walk happily on the sand flats. People have told me that there is a toll for cars (about seven quid) but as I walk from Deal this does not bother me. This year we have the Open which will mean for a week it will be hell with all the golf groupies hanging out and this might spoil the peace and quiet of the area. In 2015 I walked along the footpath on a very hot day and witnessed a Fata Morgana (Superior Mirage) as I looked towards France. These are reasonably rare but given the correct conditions they can be seen especially when looking out to sea. Also Turner said that the light in the area is the equal of Venice- how true that is as the light here (I live in Deal) is absolutely stunning no matter what month it is. Although Sandwich Bay is great - you are not far from the lovely town of Deal which has some very interesting indie shops - Walmer and Kingsdown are nearby and I almost forgot that the town of Sandwich is really beautiful and so very quiet (apart from when the golf comes to town). Also you are not far from Margate which has a great art gallery and Whitstable which is just rather nice. There are other places such as Broadstairs, Birchington (where Dante Gabriel Rossetti sleeps) and Ramsgate which has the best Wetherspoons in the whole wide world. Think of it a remote day at Wild Sandwich Bay and a meal at Spoons in the evening (bliss) Do come to this part of Kent once Uncle Boris gives the go ahead SMO
