Camber, Lydd, Dungeness, Hythe and Folkstone

After leaving Rye we drove down to Camber, both Rob and I had spent holidays there as children. But I cannot image how we got to Camber in those days or even where we stayed.  The beach was looking very quiet and peaceful. 

We then drove through Lydd, where once upon a time many years ago I did some marshalling at a motor race meeting, did not find the circuit on this visit.    We went on to Dungeness to admire the power station (or perhaps not), we did see the lighthouse which was prepared for a wedding but managed to miss the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway.
We went on to Hythe on our quest to find somewhere for an afternoon tea and ended up at Folkestone.   Folkestone, however, is not worthy of any pictures, harsh but true.  

All in all a very pleasant couple of days.

  1. What a small world - we went to that corner of the world a couple of years ago at a bellringing outing, taking lunch at Dungeness and ringing in Lydd amongst other places. You can see some scrapbook pages I made of the photos here:
