A nice selection of beer and merchandise. What a little disappointed that the whole range wasn't available - particularly the Strong Pale Ale - the brewery shop should really have good availability at all times.

A very informative tour of Britain's oldest brewery. The tour guide made us welcome from the start and explained the whole brewing process and the history of the site. The tasting was great, and a tasty meal finished off a lovely evening. Well worth it!

I recently visited the Shepherd Neame brewery for an evening brewery tour and 2 course set meal. I would highly recommend this tour/dinner combination if you’re looking for something a little different. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about the process of brewing larger and ale but also about the company itself. We visited on a Friday and as no beer is brewed on that day, you can see the machinery up close without any workers around. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we finished the tour in the museum/ function room area which also shows off some old vehicles used for delivery back in the day! After the tour we were given a flight of beers to sample and a delicious two course set meal. Ours was chicken with risotto and asparagus followed by a fresh strawberry tart. Another free beer was included with the meal and the bar was open for anything else you may fancy.
All in all a lovely evening in a pretty town learning some new facts about the oldest brewer in Britain!
The tour is popular and would recommend buying way in advance, the menu appears to change with the seasons but all options looked lovely.

Huckleberry Woods - Micro Animal Adventures is a unique destination that caters to both children and adults who are young at heart. This family-owned farm provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of rural life through personalized encounters, relaxed visits, and the chance to meet and develop a deep affection for various micro and miniature breeds.
What a wonderful experience. I being a lady of a certain age was looking for things to do a bit different. I was not disappointed. The animals were happy and friendly, the staff were happy and friendly and the grounds were a delight. Wishing I had a garden like it. Thank you Belinda for creating such a beautiful little gem. My friends and I had a great time and to top it off, home made cupcake (made by the fair hands of Belinda with eggs from the ducks that were laid that morning) and tea. Was not disappointed

Fantastic experience lovely members of staff very welcoming and friendly. Also lovely that they keep the numbers to a max of 30 so it's not crowded. Loved all the animals especially Wizard and Duke the donkeys we took for a walk - or should that be who took us for a walk. Thanks Poppy (hope I got your name right!) for all the info, being our guide and showing us Wizards lovely hat collection.
Would recommend this as a lovely morning or afternoon outing for people of any age. Worthwhile just to see Dukes lovely smile!

Lovely little place tucked away in the countryside. You can tell the owners and staff adore the animals, my daughter walked Rodney trotter and loved it. We enjoyed the story’s and knowledge told about the animals. My partner loved the donkeys and myself the goats being cheeky. Lovely cakes homemade on site. Great place

What a fantastic little farm!
The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, and great with young children as well.
We opted for a sheep walking experience for our niece and nephew and they loved it!
A variety of animals at the farm which are all super friendly (when you have food!) I’d recommend purchasing the animal feed to enhance the experience.
The cafe was nice, reasonably priced with a good selection of drinks, food and ice cream!
A good day out which the kids throughly enjoyed, thanks!

By far the best farm I have ever been to! They clearly put the animals needs first, they have so much freedom, natural food and clearly love the farmers! The farmers are so full of love and knowledge of the animals and I can not recommend huckleberry woods enough! A must go for all ages!

Just visited Huckleberry Woods for a birthday treat and it was absolutely fantastic. All of the staff, and in particular the owners were warm, friendly and very accomodating.
We done the sheep walking experience and it was a right blast.
The venue itself feels magical and so serene.
Honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had as a family.
*I would recommend buying some animal feed, and DEFINATELY take part in the walking of the animals. So much fun, and they were all so friendly and calm.
Thank you again, and see you soon!

My friend and I had the best day. I treated her to a minature donkey walk for her birthday. But we had so much more from the day. Alpacas, pigs, goats, turkeys, sheep, chickens and of course the donkeys Duke & Wizard.
So peaceful and all the animals are lovingly cared for. The 1:1 with the animals are definitely worth it.

I Love this place! 🥰
There's nothing big or extravagant about it! It's just simple fun and interaction with animals! You can tell how much the staff/ farmers all care for and know the animals, its on a very small scale which is perfect for young children or those that couldn't manage a whole zoo/ large farm and numbers are restricted so its never too busy!
Just somewhere quient and cute to blow the cobwebs away for a few hours with the family!
Thank you! 😊

Belmont House and Gardens is a delightful destination for both dog owners and nature enthusiasts. The gardens, including the walled gardens and pinetum, offer a serene atmosphere for leisurely strolls or guided tours led by the Head Gardener. While the house may be closed during winter, the gardens remain open throughout the year, providing visitors with well-maintained landscapes to explore. Additionally, there is a self-service cafe where guests can purchase refreshments and even plants from trust boxes.
The house is very interesting, there are plenty of volunteers inside to tell you the history of the house. The gardens are very nice and lovely and peaceful.

Found this lovely garden in GW 2 for 1 book. Honesty box for entrance fee and light refreshments (coffee, tea, soft drinks, cake etc) provided in old stable block. 2 beautiful walled gardens (kitchen and main), surrounding areas and plenty of picnic spot opportunities. It's worth taking coronation walk to the revamped cricket pitch and Belmont Tower (Landmark Trust holiday accommodation).
Jeff.H56 — Google review
Really enjoyed our visit-group of 3 lady friends. We visited to see the falconry display but also bought tickets for house and grounds, plus 2 visits to the cafe.
A lot of it works on trust and honesty-garden only tickets are via an honesty box. Ditto, once the cafe closes for service, supplies are left out so you can make yourself a tea or coffee and pay in honesty box.
The lovely guides were helpful and knowledgeable and one of our party chatted to one of the owners in the orangery.
A lovely house to visit, such a warm and homely feel

Beautiful gardens all on the verge of bursting into spring colours. Lots of promise of what's to come in the next few months so a real must to return and see how the gardens transform over the season. Very peaceful and loved listening to the amorous singing of the frogs couring their females.

I went to Belmont House for the first time recently.
It was a lovely sunny day and fairly quiet.
The grounds are very well kept and picturesque.
The staff were very friendly and it is a nice place to visit.
I took lunch with me, but there is a place there to get drinks.
The toilets were clean and tidy.
I really enjoyed the gardens. I will be going back to see inside the very grand house.
The only potential problem is the very narrow roads that lead to the house. If you meet a vehicle coming the other way, there is very little room and the 'passing places' are in a very poor state with deep ruts. Quite hazardous.

Carrie Bird — Google review
Firstly I would like to say the Gardens are absolutely beautiful.
They are well kept and it was so lovely to walk around them
on a beautiful day. I've never seen so many beautiful dragonflies in my life.
However, 3 stars? There is confusion upon admission fees. I didn't book mine online, I turned up to find there is a small octagonal shaped building, called the “Tack Room” which is their so called pay point. I placed £20 in the pay point to cover the House & Garden tickets which are shown as Adults: £10.00 each both online and at their site.
Upon arriving at the House we were asked to pay a further more £8 each? Baffled by this, I had explained I had covered the admission price back at the pay point, not to mention the prices are on the door of the house. Sadly they denied us entry and I was not going to pay a further more £16 for the two of us. The staff were friendly and their were no hard feelings. What is annoying is their management are fully aware of this but have yet to sort out this issue. Many have made the same mistake as I. This is why I am only giving the site a 3 star, despite being honest with my admission I didn't get to see the House that I had rightly paid for.
So my advise would be, don't use the paypoint at the site, as you get no proof that have you have paid your admission fee. Make sure you book your visit online so you are covered and have proof that you have paid and what tickets you have purchased ie garden, garden and house etc.

Great place to come at any season. The areas so beautiful, peaceful and well maintained.
House is closed unfortunately for winter. So, we will be definitely back there again.
Gardens are open all year around from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm or until dusk.
In general, we have spend an enjoyable time at gardens and surrounded area.
There is self service at the cafe ( to purchase drinks, cakes or sandwiches) and the gardens ( if you want to purchase any plants). There are boxes provided for your to put money in.
The car park is reasonable size and free of charge.
Definitely recommend it!

Only had time to enjoy the gardens but looking forward to seeing the house. The trees are wonderful in a lovely park. Load of other plants and gardens. Silent about 2 hours roaming. Then desperately needed the cafe which had a limited food menu but was quite good. Plenty of choice for drinks. Lots of models McAfee of wicker of animals in the garden.

Beautiful grounds and wonderful house. We had a guided tour on a Sunday morning here, and our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of info on all the details. The house is in an amazing state inside and out, and there is lots of furniture to admire. The gardens are beautifully kept and the whole place is so peaceful and grand!
We had the most amazing afternoon flying the birds of prey with Joe. Eveything from the mischievous baby burrowing owls to the majestic lana falcon, whose amazing aerobatics wowed us all, was wonderful. It seems a lot of money but it is well worth it, because of the time you get to spend with each bird and we did not feel rushed at all. Thank you Joe and the team, we all loved it!

It’s one of the best experience we have been to. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and patient. Very well organised and you can tell how much they care and love those beautiful birds. My daughter and son who are 12 and 9 really enjoyed it and so did I. Thank you!! We must had 9 or 10 birds to handle and it was so much fun. A must go!!!
Kai Shen — Google review
What a fantastic experience for a 7yo who is passionate about Owls. A truly hands on experience, and even in a small group sharing the birds, you feel part of each and every encounter. There is plenty of time to get to know the birds, and like all animals, they each have funny little personalities you can't help but adore as you walk around some magnificent gardens. We visited Mt Ephraim Gardens in October 2021.

Had an hours Archery booked for the 3 of us. The setting for the event is stunning, in the rural Kent countryside. The archery takes place in a wooded area. After a good safety brief we were let loose on the targets to get to grips with the bows. After a practice we walked through the wood shooting at several different size and shaped targets. Our instructor was very professional and had a good sense of humour.

As a group of 30 year old adults, we had a fantastic time at Joe's Bows! It far exceeded our expectations. Had the place completely to ourselves and Joe was brilliant and very relaxed and we felt that the price we paid was very reasonable for an hour of fun. Started off with a brief lesson and aiming at some targets before moving around the forest and aiming at various different animal sculptures. Would 100% go back!

Absolutely fantastic! The bird crew (mostly a family run business) knew their stuff and loved sharing their expertise with the group of 7 participants (plus a few observers / de facto photographers). They walked around the gorgeous Mount Ephraim Gardens grounds, getting the birds to fly back and forth between the guests' gloved arms. 5 birds in all (and a young falcon still being trained, which we didn't handle). Incredible seeing these animals close up, and Emma, Amelia & Megan were the utmost in passionate & engaging hosts.
The Oare Marshes Nature Reserve is a picturesque wetland reserve that boasts a diverse migratory bird population, including many threatened species. The area exudes rugged beauty and offers visitors peaceful surroundings with an abundance of wildlife, particularly hundreds or thousands of birds. The facilities are well-maintained and there's a beautiful walk around the water's edge, making it an ideal location for bird watching or simply wandering.
Saw so many wonderful birds. Experienced twitchers were really friendly and pointed out lots of interesting birds. A superb day out!

Mount Ephraim Gardens in Faversham, Kent is a magnificent attraction spanning 10 acres of picturesque Edwardian terraced gardens. Visitors can enjoy a variety of leisure activities such as exploring the grass maze and nature trail, taking beautiful photographs and having picnics on the grounds. The venue also offers great opportunities for weddings due to its stunning scenery. There is ample space for children to play and disabled parking spaces are available.
This is a fabulous place to visit. Easily found just off the M2 motorway. Easy parking. A very modest entrance fee gains you entry into a beautiful and magical place. The full tour took us about 3 hours. The Millennium Rose Garden was my personal favourite. There's just so much to see. Great place to bring kids. It's also dog-friendly (dogs on leads). Tea room selling drinks and snacks (great cappuccino btw). Plenty of places in the extensive grounds to have a picnic if you prefer. Toilets have modern fittings and everything worked. The staff we encountered at the ticket booth and at the tea room were all friendly. The gardens also hosts additional events throughout the open season so check the website for more info. Honestly, this is a real hidden gem in the Kent countryside. If you're in the area, do give it a visit, it's brill.

Mount Ephraim Gardens is a beautiful garden. It has a charming tea room to take refreshments after your garden visit.

Large, well-laid out gardens with some brilliant views over Kent. We bought day tickets, reasonably priced at £9 each which gave access to all external areas. The house itself is available to book for accommodation, but we walked the gardens on a sunny day and enjoyed it immensely. For gardening buffs (like me) it is very interesting with plenty of landscaping views to admire and get ideas from. Well worth a visit and we will go again, but in a different season.

This review is about our stay here on the garden wing.
It was amazing. 6 double bedrooms, a lounge, snug, games room and well equipped kitchen.
Enough grounds to get everyone lost if needed.
This isn't the b&b or the pods, but they look excellent.
If you want a weekend away in a stately home this the place.
Fine points
Arga, double oven, 2 freezers, 2 fridges, lots of china and cutlery.
We managed roast dinner for 14 easily.

We visited Mount Ephraim Gardens simply because the place was quite close to where we were staying, and we were not disappointed. It is a charming, quiet, intimate garden with some Japanese elements, a rock/water garden, an arboretum, a mizmaze, a rose and a topiary garden with a lovely little tearoom. The terraced gardens are beautifully set on a hillside with lovely views over the quintessentially English countryside.

Magnificent gardens with a distinctly oriental feel. It's a relaxing way to spend half a day wandering around the trail past ponds, waterfalls, rock gardens and a large arboretum.
The colourful grasses and perennials that form the Miz Maze are particularly enchanting.

Great gardens. Mixture of open spaces , rose gardens, an arbouritum, , a sort of maze ( called mis maze ) a lake and some ponds. Was hot on the day we visited, so the benches under the shade of the trees was quite welcoming. Stopped for a bite to eat and a cuppa , which was nice. Also lots of places to have a picnic
And on the way out they had a few shelves full of plants. Wasn't too busy as we went on Sunday and plenty of parking.
For lovers of gardens I would recommend.

The Faversham Society Heritage Centre and Museum Gallery is a compact establishment that showcases the past of Faversham through a collection of exhibits, art pieces, and books. The museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the town and its people, chronicling their way of life throughout the years. It houses a library filled with literature on various topics related to Faversham's heritage. This cultural hub serves as an educational resource for visitors interested in learning about local history and culture.
Absolute gem of a museum - it's not very big, but packs lots in and is completely free to visit (donations appreciated!). The museum follows the history of Faversham from Roman times through to modern day. Lots of hands on exhibits and activities for children - very family friendly. Volunteers are eager to interact and answer questions, and really are a credit to the museum. Our favourite exhibit was the working telephone exchange where we had an interesting chat with a volunteer who used to work in one. My son was fascinated with the workings of the machinery and the volunteer was very patient in explaining everything and allowing him to try out all the phones. Would allow 1-2 hours for your visit - you could see it all in an hour but two hours will give you more time to interact/do activities. Very clean, free toilets on site.

St. James' Church, Sheldwich is a picturesque and tranquil place, nestled amidst beautiful surroundings. The church itself exudes charm and is complemented by an intriguing cemetery. Unfortunately, access to the church was restricted at the time due to coronavirus measures. However, visitors can still enjoy the peaceful woodland area nearby for leisurely strolls. Additionally, there is a spacious car park available for convenience when exploring the area on foot or engaging in physical activities such as walks or runs.

Faversham Market is a charming and bustling market located in the town center. It features various specialized stalls offering artisan products, antiques, and unique finds. The market is held on different days of the week, with specific events such as the Open Gardens event in June, Hop Festival in September, and Christmas Market in December. Visitors can explore not only the market but also nearby antiques shops and enjoy a variety of dining options.
It was raining whole day! We did go through the market to get to the Town Hall to see the original Magna Carta and some other original medieval charterers issued to the town Faversham.
Many food stalls and flower stalls were in the market.
There is a bit of a wall still remaining from the original pharmacy built in 1200s!

I visited the Faversham Antiques Market today, which is held on the first Sunday of the month. Lots of stalls with well presented stock. A better market than for some months (I go most months). If you visit, don't forget to go upstairs in the Guildhall in the Market Square as you will find more dealers there. Walk round Faversham, too. There are other antiques shops nearby well worth visiting. There are also plenty of places to get something to eat and drink if you want to interrupt your browsing.

If you're on the tourist trail in Kent, you probably have Canterbury and Dover on your itinerary and little else. I recommend Faversham (on the A2 or the railway line on your way down to the aforementioned places). The market is held on Fridays and Saturdays, showcasing local produce. But come for the town itself with its well-preserved medieval centre.

Busy little town with several smaller sized shops and plenty of pubs and cafes. Faversham holds different markets in the centre of town. Tues, Fri and Sat for general stalls and an antique market on the first Sunday of the month.
There is the popular Open Gardens event in June, Hop Festival in September and Christmas Market in December ( plenty of stalls at all of these events).
We enjoyed seeing the beautiful old buildings and walking along the creekside.

Had some time to spare while waiting for the car to be Mot'd so a walk around Faversham centre and the market was a delight with many specialised stools with artisan products for sale. A visit to the local butchers just around the corner from centre was a lovely discovery and has a great choice of specialised meats to try, definitely a return visit required.
Parking was easy in the large car park which is just off the town centre which has the local swimming pool included to visit.
Faversham has always been a pleasure to visit over the years and I look forward to a return visit in the near future.

Our first visit to the area as our daughter has just moved here, the market has a large variety of stalls, my husband drives a mobility scooter and found the cobbles a bit rickety when he drove over them but that is a small price to pay, the town is lovely and quaint and needs a bit more exploring, we will be back.

Brogdale Collections is a significant heritage and research site in the UK. It houses the National Collection of Fruit Trees from across the world, with hundreds of varieties planted for study and preservation purposes. The site features poly tunnels that simulate climate change conditions to see which fruits can thrive in different temperatures and droughts. Additionally, there are beautiful cherry, pear, and apple trees along the entrance walkway alongside a model railway track.
I went to Brogdale for the Cherry picking. Lots of fun and very yummy!
It is a stunning site, I could have spent all day there.
They have huge poly tunnels modelling climate change with increased temperatures up to +4 degrees than normal with drought conditions to see what will grow well in the future.
They plant two each from hundreds of varieties of fruit trees from all around the world.
This is the UK's National Collection of Fruit Trees and is an exceptionally beautiful and important heritage and research site.
The entrance walkway has some beautiful cherry, pear and apple trees alongside the model railway track. Well worth a visit!

Great place to visit, just off the A2 at Faversham. We had a lovely cooked lunch and sat outside on a Saturday afternoon. Good friendly service and good value.
There were orchard tours amongst other events throughout the year, so we will return to do one of those soon.

We visited on Apple day and had a good time! There were tractor, miniature train and walking tours of the orchards, live music, falconry, archery, Apple demonstrations (tasting etc) as well as a range of food and craft stalls. The entertainment is more limited outside of the theme days.
Well worth a visit and plenty to keep children occupied for a few hours.

Brogdale restaurant and farm shop. Selling tours of the orchards and gifts, main meals, tea and cake, local brews and Brogdale ciders. Major events and school visits available. Large car park and cycle storage. A table tennis table in the business yard is a nice addition to picnic area. Staff are friendly and helpful.

We've been here twice now for the cherry festival and the knowledge of the guides always is absolutely astounding. They are so lovely, answering any and all questions as they take you around the stunning orchards come rain or shine!

The 14th-century St Mary of Charity Church, located in the town center, stands out with its unique triangular spire. Built on top of an earlier Norman foundation, the church underwent modifications in 1797 when its medieval spire was replaced with a corona-shaped one due to concerns about its stability. Visitors have shown great interest in the church's memorial stones and have enjoyed participating in a trail designed for children aged 8-12.
A grand, beautiful and lavish church serving the market town of Faversham. Two large transepts flank the exceedingly tall and well lit nave, which then leads into the gorgeous and exuberant chancel, complete with an absolutely beautiful stained glass window. The interior is almost a museum in stature, containing wheelchair access and plenty of exhibits and sights as well as a fully furnished parish office. The tower is grand and boasts a spectacular spire which is traditionally lit up at the holiday season. Lastly the churchyard is pretty and picturesque, and although not as sprawling as the architecture, it does contain a nice stone archway leading out the east exit, as well as a peaceful hedged ‘Garden of Remembrance’.

Beautiful church set in the heart of Faversham.
We went here to watch a performance as part of the Literary Festival and it was packed.
Lovely to see classic, wooden pews in this church which give it a timeless feel.
Surprisingly spacious inside, interesting to browse around and discover its history. Very friendly atmosphere.

This lovely church was visited some time ago but it is still in my mind to return for a longer visit because it is so fascinating - I will try and get a guided tour to learn even more next time. The wall paintings, on the pillars, are just too good...

Fantastic old church, still got all the old features to look at. The members of the church I met and spoke with were more than happy to answer any questions I had. If you like old buildings this is a great place to go to, would be more than happy to visit again.

Popped in here because one of my my granddaughters, visiting from the Caribbean, was fascinated by the church spire. Ended up spending over an hour here. They were very interested in our some of the Memorial stones in the church were. Then we discovered the church trail for8_12 Yr old and they enjoyed competing the questions. Judging from their visitor book comments they thought it was wonderful.

I visited Faversham on Saturday 10 September 2022, for a short visit enroute to Whitstable.
The coach drop off point was near the market area, which was a little depleted ,I presume as it was in the mourning period for Queen Elizabeth. The walk to the church was down the appropriately named Church Rd and even I have reduced mobility, only took around 5-8 minutes.
The way in is through the graveyard which had some obviously ancient and interesting looking stones and monuments.
There is a ramp into the church as well as a short flight of steps with handrail.
There are some beautiful stained glass windows and also an unique painted pillar near the transept which dates from the Middle Ages. According to Father Simon (sorry I'm a Catholic!), this was probably painted over in the time of the Dissolution of the monasteries.
I had quite a long chat with the priest about his ministry in Faversham and how despite the town being pretty, it still had its share of poverty and difficult issues, which the church is trying to address.
On the way out,I noticed 2 large sofas facing each other and a sign welcoming everyone into the church. This seemed apt, as during my visit, 3 teenage lads came in to pray for Queen Elizabeth. Never seen that before!
I want to commend both Father Simon and local volunteer Pamela for making me feel most welcome in this church.

Amazingly gorgeous with tall spire that can be seen for miles. Part of a once larger religious community around Faversham Abbey established by King Stephen and dissolved by Henry VIII. It's listed Grade 1 under English Heritage. King Henry is supposedly buried here?! Check out the painted pillars, a medieval rarity.
Oare Gunpowder Works Country Park is a tranquil and picturesque natural area that provides an excellent opportunity for hiking along its well-maintained paths with pets. The park boasts gunpowder-mill ruins and an abundance of local wildlife such as swans, moorhens, ducks, song thrushes, and finches. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the reserve while sitting on one of the numerous benches or picnic areas provided by the park.
Beautiful nature reserve. Loads of benches and places to sit, eat your packed lunch and enjoy the scenery and listen to the song birds. The people in the visitor's centre were lovely too.

Wonderful park in west Faversham for relaxing or walk your furry friend. The park includes the gunpowder works buildings and it is fairly interesting exploring the ruins and read the signs on the site's history. The trails are fairly easy to walk and well signposted. The lakes are great but be aware that in summer there may be a lot of mosquitoes. Get your wellies as well as some sections will be fairly muddy.
Renato Santos — Google review
was a beautiful calm walk with lots of information and exploring to do was a little muddy but easy to deal with most paths are wooden and you have 3 yes 3 choices of where to walk guided by posts with different coloured bands round them depending on terrain and ability, so very well suited for many different abilities and ages ,so bravo 👏🏼 to them , we took a 13,14 & 17 year old out for this walk and they had fun with reading the information boards & online there is an educational pack of History,a checklist and mini beasts adventures ,(bug hotels , beehives on site) so go check that out too ,
for us it was a good couple of hours spent out in the fresh air parking was reasonably easy there is onsite parking and maybe a little difficult in sunnier weather and may have to find alternatives, highly recommend to all ages and has the educational experience as well
happy travelling

We love it here, nice quiet walks. Disabled toilet. Small carpark that is free to park in. History boards to read. Ducks and swans to spot. Very shady. Benches for picnics.
You will need Welly boots if visiting in the colder months. Lovely place to visit in all seasons and to see nature changing.
Most paths are suitable for buggies and wheelchairs as we have bought both through ourselves.

Faversham Pools is a facility for swimming that offers its visitors an opportunity to bathe in water. It is situated in Faversham and provides a chance to take a dip, paddle or dive into the pool's refreshing waters. The venue is well-maintained and features clean, clear water that is maintained at a comfortable temperature suitable for swimming. The area around the pool has facilities such as seating arrangements and changing rooms for swimmers.
Friendly community pool that invests in its facilities.
Improved indoor showers and lockers now. Changing area indoors is tired but always clean, but what matters is the pool and that’s beautiful.
I mostly use the outdoor pool for lane swimming. Great size, heated in winter to about 20 degrees, open through the year. So happy I have this in my area.

My family had a great time here today. It was significantly cleaner than when we visited it a few years ago and there were plenty of lifeguards keeping everyone safe. I loved that the sessions are three hours long, instead of the one hour you get in ashford.
There’s also a great selection of pools, all included in your entry price, and importantly, all heated! There’s an indoor and outdoor kids pool, full size indoor and outdoor pool, and a diving pool (great if you have older kids). The rapids outside have their own pool and were a firm favourite, running on the half hour, every hour, giving plenty of opportunity for zoomies.
We used the tide cafe for a snack after our swim. The staff were really friendly, and the food was yummy. You have to try the milkshakes!
All in all, an awesome facility that was clean, well run and great value for money. We’ll definitely be back!

Great pools for lane swimming especially sunset swims on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunrise Swim on Sunday morning. The outdoor pool is 33m and indoor 25m.
Clean pools, changing rooms and new lockers. Showers recently refurbished via crowd funding for the project. Friendly reception team who always make swimmers feel welcome. Hard working cleaners who keep the centre to a high standard of cleanliness. The lifeguards are attentive and professional.
Monthly swim pass is better value than pay as you go if swimming more than twice a week. Tides cafe is open at peak times selling great coffee and snacks.
Car park is council run and fees apply in evenings. Beware of poor lighting. Swale Council is looking into this - March 2024

For a mum of a severely disabled young man, I just want to say from the reception staff who advised me that I could use the first aid room to change him where there is a ceiling hoist, to the lifeguards who are so attentive and assist me with the hoist chair and allow us to use the bouyoncy aids (which I would love to know where you get them from.) The gentleman who
cleans the locker area. He really takes pride in his work as everywhere is spotless. And lastly the cafe staff. Please don't stop making the brownies and strawberry milkshake, my son LOVES THEM.

We visited on a summer holiday weekday which had the first sunshine in weeks! We had to pre-book online, which was good because I think it would have been rammed otherwise. It was fully booked by the morning. It was still quite busy but not overcrowded. We struggled to find a parking spot in the pay-and-display car parks outside, and drove around for between 20 and 30 minutes before finding a spot.
There was an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, an indoor toddler pool, an indoor jacuzzi, an outdoor splash pool and an outdoor pool with rapids. There's grass areas and benches to sit on around the outdoor pools, although this was quite crowded. Plenty of changing and lockers were available.
The indoor pools were warm but the jacuzzi and the rapids were quite cold so our kids didn't want to be in them. We ended up spending more time indoors than out!
We had a nice afternoon nonetheless and finished it off with milkshakes from the kiosk at the poolside.

Went for a family day out here yesterday. Unfortunately its wasn't as good as we hoped.
•Both outdoor and indoor pools were much colder than expected. We didn't warm up at all even after swimming a few laps. We all had goodebumps the entire time.The outside pool was quite over crowded due to there being swimming lanes.
•The overall look of the place was very dated and run down. Pools of wee in the toilets. The shower area floor was broken and unsafe. Very dirty looking. The changing rooms very dated too.
• The cleaner (a old man) could of really do with some deodorant as he hoovered around the changing area non stop. Seeing him come out the female toilets I do feel there should be a sign on the door stating its 'maned' by male and female staff.
• The icing on the cake for us was 2 hrs after being home from swimming my whole family had diarrhea. We definitely won't be going back!!.

Given that the pool is owned and a run by a charity I find it surprising that it is actually more expensive to swim here than council run pools.
Staff can be somewhat abrupt and the unisex changing rooms are not particularly clean.
The cafe inside is a complete no-go for me as not only are the staff bluntly rude but the prices are crippling by any standards, especially for such poor quality snacks.
1 slither of stale cake, 1 coffee and a child’s fruit shoot £9.30!

Nice, clean pool. Helpful staff. It was quiet when I went for a swim with my son. There was the option of swimming in lanes, a Jacuzzi and a large inflatable in the main pool.
The National Shrine of Saint Jude is a stunning and serene location with beautiful gardens where visitors can find solace and tranquility. The chapel within the shrine offers an intimate space for prayer, housing the shrine of Saint Jude. If you wish to light a candle, it's advisable to bring your own lighter. Additionally, there is limited parking available on-site at the monastery. The shrine is known for its friendly parishioners and priest, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all who visit.
I adore this place is beautiful and peaceful, they such beautiful gardens where you can seat and pray. The small chapel is very intimate. In this chapel you can find the shrine of Saint Jude. If you need to light a candle please take your lighter with you.
They have a small parking space inside the monastery.

Lovely place to visit. Have been coming here for years. Parking can sometimes be difficult, mostly when there is a mass on. Roads near the church are fairly tight so need to take care when driving around the town. But a popular place nonetheless, every time we go there is usually a good amount of people visiting at the same time

It was pleasant without being spectacular! By this I mean that the place is quite compact. Obviously if you come to pray the size of the venue does not matter. We came to visit and in warmer drier weather you could sit and contemplate in the garden but in winter this is not so easy.

A place of worship to God and presence of Holy spirit. I read it somewhere ‘No one returns from this place empty handed’ We visited National Shrine of Saint Jude 34 Tanners St, Faversham last Saturday and sure enough we didn’t returned empty handed. We went there with a very special prayer request asking St Jude to intercede and pray for us. It was a very special moment for us to be there and we were truly blessed.
Maison Dieu, believed to be the oldest village museum in Britain, is a historic gem nestled in Ospringe. Constructed during the 13th-15th Century, it stands as a testament to its medieval origins as a hospital visited by pilgrims and Royalty en route to Canterbury. This remarkable museum showcases an array of Roman and medieval collections discovered locally. Operated entirely by friendly volunteers, Maison Dieu offers an enriching experience that is well worth exploring.
Small place with lots of information boards and Roman artifacts. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable.

I did not expect so much from this place. I went in during half terms so they bean prepared for kids some activities like excavation stuff to colour or assigning pices of artifacts to right category. I was also expecting this place will be smaller and mostly empty which was nice surprise to see all stuff in. On the down side there in no parking right next to it but 5 minutes any direction you could find plenty spaces.

Believed to be the oldest village museum in Britain, this 13th-15th Century building is a gem in the heart of Ospringe. It remains from what was a Mediaeval hospital, visited by pilgrims and Royalty travelling to Canterbury. The museum houses exquisite Roman and Mediaeval collections found locally. Run entirely by welcoming, friendly volunteers it is well worth a visit. It is opposite the Ship Inn which is a great place for lunch or refreshments while visiting Ospringe.

Fascinating relic of a medieval pilgrims' hospital on the road to Canterbury. Just a few rooms but also plenty of information about the large complex that served royalty and more humble travellers.
St. Mary's Church, Eastling is a place of worship dedicated to St. Mary, consisting of three aisles and a southern chancel known as St. Katherine's. The steeple, a low pointed structure located at the western end, holds six bells made by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
A beautiful church in the country surrounded by 12 yew trees and one enormous ancient yew believed to be over 2,000 years old.
There is an ample sized car park with some disabled spaces.
There is a pub nearby.
Great place for a churchyard wander and particularly for tree lovers like me!
