Dover...

It's one of the grimmest places on earth, Stoke-on-Sea. I'd rather camp out in Damascus.

agree with ken. An utter sh1thole.
Deal close by, St Margarets Bay, Sandwich and Canters all worth hanging out in though.

cheers for that, i will have a look at those places and book a night accommodation

Have an hour at Herne Bay if you've got time Gresty. Unless it's changed in the last few years it's like being transported back to the 1950's.

cheers collywobble i'll have a google of herne bay

dont know about now but about a decade ago broadstairs was also like going back to the 1950s ,even had a punch and judy show on the beach for the kids ,worth a visit !

i will take look there too FOYLESWAR, I was in llandudno & conwy just a few weeks back, llandudno is very traditional with the pier, penny arcades & punch & judy show on the prom

yeah hope you have an enjoyable time gresty ,broadstairs when i was last there was full of old world charm ,they had an old art deco type very small cinema ,it only had about 30 odd seats if memory serves  which was a throwback to days gone by took the kids to see chicken run must have been 10-15 years ago ,well worth a visit if it still remains ,also an old fashioned  ice cream parlour type resteruant which was excellent and hopefully still there .

I have relatives in Deal , but don't remember too much about the place , only that it seemed a nice quiet place but not a lot there , the best thing about Dover was watching all the hovercrafts come in

ashfords a nice place to stay :D

Depends what you're interested in, if you like stuff about WW2 the castle is a must, I could quite happily spend a whole day there, also the RAF memorial on the white cliffs:
