Whitstable
Why Whitstable?
Kent truly is the Garden of England, with beautiful scenery, a stunning
coastline and a rich and exciting history.
Whitstable is the loveliest town on the North Kent coast. It is famous for its
oysters, and still has a working harbour, with fishing boats and a number of
popular fish markets.
It is a unique combination of traditional and contemporary with charming
architecture, a thriving arts culture and a rich maritime history. The main
streets are full of craft and gift shops, art galleries, delicatessans and
fashion boutiques – all interspersed with traditional butchers, fishmongers,
bakers and greengrocers.
There’s lots to do in and around Whitstable for all ages and interests. Here is
just a selection:
