Jemima Hut at the Farm

This is a top spot for a walk – footpaths run around the local villages of Bodsham, Hastingleigh and Elmsted, the North Downs Way is close by, and there’s a bus stop in Bodsham for jaunts further afield by public transport. The Wye Downs (10 minutes’ drive) is a good area for a stroll too, followed by a pub stop in the historic village of Wye. Elsewhere, you might like to plan wanders around Canterbury (25 minutes), the famed cliffs of Dover (35 minutes) or the desert landscape of Dungeness National Nature Reserve (40 minutes). Folkestone, Camber Sands and Whitstable are all within a 45-minute drive if you’d prefer a day at the beach. Other good things to put on your to-do list include lovely Leeds Castle (35 minutes) and animal encounters at Port Lympne Safari Park (25 minutes). The owners also suggest picking up fresh seafood at Greatstone beach (45 minutes) for a tasty barbecue back in Jemima’s garden.
