🇬🇧 Canterbury & Eastbourne: A Tale of Two English Gems

Don’t miss this quintessential English town—ideally, spend a full day soaking in its charm. 🚂 Arrival: Get off at Canterbury West Station, just a short walk from the stunning Westgate Gardens (best visited on a sunny day for postcard-worthy skies). 📸 Highlights: Stroll along the River Stour, feed the ducks, and explore hidden alleys. Discover quirky shops and cafés—yes, the "Crooked House" is cute, but the town has even more unique architecture! Canterbury Cathedral (a must-see if time allows). Vibe: Slow, artsy, and utterly relaxing. 🏖️ Eastbourne – The Underrated Coastal Escape A 2-hour train ride from Canterbury, this seaside town is your gateway to the White Cliffs and a peaceful retreat. 🍽️ Bistrot Pierre: 20-min walk from the station toward the sea, passing churches, stadiums, and grand hotels. Book ahead for window/outdoor seats with Dover Cliffs views. 🌊 Pebble Beach: Quiet and locals-only (stairs lead down, but wear sturdy shoes!). Why Stay? Few tourists, slow-paced living, and easy access to Birling Gap/Seven Sisters. #Canterbury #Eastbourne #UKHiddenGems
