There are brilliant walks towards Port Lympne on the surrounds of Lathe Barn as well as lots of lovely nearby walks in the countryside, though woodlands and along the coast. Here are just some ideas to help you get inspired
Dymchurch Beach: Lathe Barn is just a 9-minutedrive from this Blue Flag awarded beach. The area south of the Dymchurch beach car park provides plenty of parking. If you want to wander into the village of Dymchurch, you’ll be greeted by shops, a small amusement arcade and fish and chips shops for lunch.
Royal Military Canal, Hythe: Just 5 minutes from Lathe Barn, you can park up and enjoy an excellent waymarked trail with helpful interpretive panels along the way, while a recent £3.5m restoration of the 7km section from Seabrook to West Hythe Dam means that it now offers a wonderfully easy and relaxing route suitable for walkers, cyclists and disabled users.
Brockhill Country Park: Rich in wildlife and with wide open spaces to roam, the Brockhill Country Park offers a great day away. There’s a lake, woods, meadows and picnic and play areas, as well as an onsite cafe. See how much of the local flora and fauna you can spot, with marbled white butterflies, green woodpeckers and carpets of snowdrops calling this their home.
Dungeness Beach: A unique looking setting, Dungeness beach is a vast shingle beach featuring an imposing power station.
Folkestone Harbour and Seafront: You’ll discover an incredible atmosphere on the Folkestone Harbour Arm, with live bands playing and an assortment of street food to sample. If you walk along the promenade away from town, you can head to Lower Leas coastal park, where you’ll be greeted by play areas and gardens.
