WHITSTABLE

Welcome to Pub Trails - WHITSTABLE

One of the places visited that was so large and interesting that two trails were created for you to duplicate.

 Whitstable is a small (pop 32,000) seaside town in Kent. It is easily accessed by train from London and bus from Canterbury. 

The town has remained free from the usual High Street chains with lots of local shops. Its attraction for tourists has resulted in many small restaurants and cafes. It still has book, toys and record shops still exist as well as many small attractive boutiques. There are lots of craft and gift shops to be visited.

Whitstable is famous for oysters which have been collected since Roman times. Many of the pubs and restaurants specialise in seafood dishes. There is an annual Oyster Festival.

The beach is pebbles rather than sand and stretches away on both sides of the harbour. The beach has several groups of colourful beach huts in use.

There are two trails described for Whitstable. The first takes in the High St while the second is along the front of the town.

For the High St bus (from Canterbury) or train would do to start the trail at the railway bridge going into town (Red Icons)

 For the second a bus to Harbour St would be best to start the coast trail (blue icons). Using the train would not take much longer it is just that you would walk past most of the High St pubs on the way to the start of the trail and may be tempted to stop

(1) the High St - red icons,while (2) is along the front of the town - blue icons
