Greatstone on sea and beyond

Greatstone has lots to offer, firstly its beautiful little-known sandy beach. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway (rhdr) is located just a short drive away and the tracks run through the village of Greatstone. The Sound Mirrors are located to the west of Greatstone, and were built in the 1920s and 1930s to detect enemy aircraft and are worth a visit. They can be found by Greatstone Lakes on the Nature Reserve.

Nearby Dungeness is one of only four areas recognised as High Nature Conservation Value in Kent. In fact Dungeness is the only Grade 1 star site in Kent identified by the Nature Conservancy Council and therefore designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi). The area is popular with artists and photographers, and features regularly in numerous lifestyle magazines. You are able to pop into local artists' studios to watch them at work or pick up a piece of beach art. You can visit Derek Jarman's garden and see how he embraced the harsh environment and created a work of art with clever planting and beach-combing. Or pick up the rhdr steam train and explore the area on a bygone mode of transport.

The medieval town of Rye is about fifteen miles away and has lots for visitors to explore for the day, whether you are looking for boutique shops or quaint tea rooms. The Heritage Centre, just a gentle stroll down to the Quay is a good place to start. Here you can watch the Town Model 'Sound and Light' show, exploring the town's rich past history. You can visit the famous Rye Church and watch the 'Quarter boys' strike the quarter hour above the clock and enjoy the beautiful stained glass windows or just take in the views from the 'Gun Gardens' over the marsh and towards the sea.

New Romney is approximately three miles away, offering supermarkets and banks as well as a wider range of shopping opportunities. The Channel Tunnel at Folkestone is approximately sixteen miles away, and Dover about twenty six miles. Mainline railway stations locally are at Appledore and Ham Street, both within nine miles, being on the Ashford to Brighton line. Ashford International is approximately thirteen miles and has connections to the continent on the Eurostar, as well as the high speed service to London St Pancras in 35 minutes

      A perfect holiday for all ages ranging from baby Lola aged 4 months to the Great Grandparents aged 78. The property had more than enough equipment for the type and location of the holiday home – windbreak / seats for the beach, crockery and cutlery for both inside and outside dining. A surplus of inside entertainment if required including boardgames and dvd’s. The welcome pack of flowers, drinks an crisps were a pleasant surprise. Jean, the housekeeper was lovely and very helpful. Local provisions available from well stocked shop a short walk away. “

      The location of the property was excellent and the decking area was superb. We had a problem with the front door lock and this was dealt with quickly and efficiently by the caretaker. Overall we had a wonderful relaxing week.
