Herne Bay shares much of its maritime heritage with Whitstable and is home to the town’s famed pier, which during its heyday was once the second longest pier in England. Today the pier hosts a wide range of tempting meals and snacks, traditional fairground horses and retail huts. 

The town is also steeped in history featuring the towering Reculver Towers, Roman Fort and gardens. If you fancy a little bit of exploration, why not see if you can find the local statue of Barnes Wallis – the inventor of the infamous “bouncing bomb.”
