Herne Bay

Today was bitterly cold and we went into Herne Bay to show the kids the town and seafront. The town was founded in the 1830s as a stopping place for steamers going from London to Margate. This early Victorian seaside town has always boasted lots of sunshine and a healthful reputation. The Herne Bay seafront with bandstand behind James.
