Sightseeing in Kent


A few weeks ago we went on a search for the Medway Megaliths which is about 20 miles from where we now live.  They are remains of large tombs from between 5000 and 6000 years ago.  This one is called Kit's Coty House.  I am continually amazed how much old man made stuff is still standing in this country.

Last week we went to the White Cliffs of Dover which are about 60 miles away.  Apparently they are made of chalk by a kind of algae.  The cliffs are visually quite striking.  Apparently huge parts of it collapsed in 2001 and 2012 and we are not supposed to go up to the edge, but I only learned that now on Wikipedia just now.  I guess I will not get as close if I go back.
