On the first day of our short stay in Kent based in Margate in 2014 we headed down the coast to Dover which neither of us had been to before. It had rained early when we'd visited Dover Castle and fended off the hundred or so attempts to get us to join English Heritage but for our walk along the famous White Cliffs we had sunshine and a stiff breeze. We were also close enough to France to not only see it but to have our phones keep switching between UK and French providers.
