Herne Bay town begun as a small shipping community receiving goods and passengers from London en route to Canterbury and Dover but didn’t reach its prime until the late Victorian era which is celebrated in the town’s architecture. The seafront promenade has been extensively regenerated in the 1990s and nowadays guarantees a beautiful stroll along the sea connecting the main historical attractions- the King’s Hall, the Grade II listed Clock Tower, the Central Band Stand and The Pier with its independent market stalls and fun fair rides. This increasingly popular seaside town is steeped in history and has a lot to offer whether you are a foodie and like to frequent the independent tea rooms and restaurants or you enjoy water sports such as sailing, rowing or yachting. Keen walkers or cyclists can visit the nearby cliff-top remains of St Mary’s Church at Reculver Country Park or the quaint neighbouring seaside town of Whitstable that is famous for its oyster harvest, independent stores, food festivals and sailing. Herne Bay also hosts an annual ten day summer festival full of music, cultural treats and family entertainment.

The site is situated in a prominent seafront location, across the road from the beach and only a short walk to the town centre and the mainline train station that offers high speed service to London St Pancras in under 90 minutes, making commuting a viable option.
