Filled with creativity and colour, Hythe, Folkestone and Sandgate are the artistic pilgrimage of the Kent coast. With a direct train from St Pancras in under an hour, Hythe is a perfectly quaint seaside town filled with cobbled streets and independent galleries, and of course, the perfect sea views.
Hythe is one of the original Cinque Ports, with a rich maritime history dating back to medieval times when it was a key defensive harbour on England’s south coast. Today, its historic High Street, ancient St Leonard’s Church and Royal Military Canal reflect centuries of coastal trade, smuggling and military heritage.
