For a different perspective, river tours by punt or boat allow you to see the city from the water, floating quietly past medieval buildings and under ancient stone bridges.
Just a short drive away are the countryside walks and charming villages of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the beaches of Whitstable and Herne Bay offer a refreshing day out on the coast.
