We, 4 adults and one very keen 7yr old ornithologist, had a great afternoon walking round Elmley accompanied by our guide, Abby. The weather was perfect, the views and the sky were fantastic. We learnt and saw a lot, and most importantly saw a barn owl. We plan to return and stay.

What a fantastic little gem, based in a fantastic old building, well worth a visit, cramped to the rafters with historic items, with friendly volunteers.

This is only a park by the sea but is a great place to visit for a picnic and to let the kids run around. There is a cafe and a play area, even camping by prior arrangement. Everyone is so friendly there it's like going back in time. Search what's on at Barton Point. Adjoining the park there is a miniature railway which give rides on the train for £1. It's a great place

We don’t live on the Isle of Sheppey but we have two dogs and like to get out as a family every Sunday for a good long dog walk. A friend of ours suggested here..... SOLD ! Parking is free. The walk is a mixture of beach, pebbles, paths and grass - perfect. The walk takes approx and hour and half and at the end there is small tea hut which is a perfect ending to the walk - especially if it is a little chilly. We have been here a number of times now. Recommend ????

There’s always something different to see every day. Five minute walk from the town centre and less than that to a park, amusement arcade, play area and supermarket
