Botany Bay, one of Thanet's most photographed bays, is famous. This hidden gem offers breathtaking views of white cliffs and beautiful chalk formations. At low tide, Botany Bay is an ideal spot for fossil hunting and exploring the tide pools. At high tide, there's plenty of exposed sand to discover, but due to the bay's shape, the ends are cut off at high tide.

The village is situated about 3 miles (5 km) north of Sevenoaks and lies along the River Darent. Otford boasts a variety of historical landmarks, including the remains of a Roman villa and the Archbishop’s Palace, which was once home to 52 archbishops up until the 16th century. The village is also famous for its unique claim to fame: the largest scale model of the solar system in the world. The village center features a quaint pond, surrounded by pubs, cafes, and shops, making it a delightful spot for both locals and visitors. Otford is also home to several churches, including the Anglican Church of St Bartholomew, Otford Methodist Church, Most Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church, and Otford Evangelical Church.

Pebble beach with a beautiful view of the chalk cliffs. The sun is best for photos in the morning.

Great place with spectacular views over the white cliffs. Highly recommended. On a clear day you can clearly see the French coast.

The attentive hiker or pilgrim has repeatedly encountered a wide variety of types of crosses on his way: made of stone (often granite) or wood, with or without the body of the crucified Christ, artistically decorated or deliberately kept simple, towering high and thus dominating the surroundings from afar or rather smaller... This hiking highlight, however, is sure to take a top spot in the ranking of the most unusual crosses. It does not tower up, but is quite the opposite, cut into the ground so that the light background of this lying monument stands out clearly from the surrounding green of the lawn. The basic idea of such a design - known in technical jargon as geoglyps - is similar to the "Nazca Lines" in South America, which are thousands of years older; or, to give a much closer example, the "White Horse" on Uffington Hill (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/283565 ). The sad reason for its construction is to commemorate the victims of the First World War.
