I fine them very good last week (fun on four weels) They saying and showing you the M20you go up it most days of the week but did you know fascinating visitors attractions on the way,they show you the map where they all are with a photo most I have been to but one had me thinking,passed alot not knowing what was behind the walls,and that was St Leonards church,did you know they have on show the remains of 4000 men,women and children in the Crypt,now how die they die,was it just old age, but how did the rest die,can anyone tell us the History behind it. The church is open to the public but only on selected dates, does anyone know when they are,I would like to take my wife down to see it.Also there are some great places to take your days off ,afun page for the young ones,all the TV etc for the week ahead.Good value Holidays,and the ones we love the coach holidays.Apage of brain teaser and Cross words,and what shows are on. So well worth buying the paper just for all that.

We've visited walking the Hythe town trail, it's a very active and welcoming church, crypt is open May to September.

The bone crypt at St Leonards is fascinating. We really enjoyed our visit a couple of years ago. In the summer Hythe is a good place for a day out. There is a lovely boat trip along the Royal Military Canal which is idyllic, we saw lots of kingfishers when we went.
