A Family Day Out
The countryside around Knowlton provides plenty of opportunity to get out and enjoy the fresh air.
From cycling to golf there's so much to do!
Wild Animal Parks
Howletts Wild Animal Park (15 mins) and Port Lympne (35 mins) focus on endangered species in natural settings. Both have cafes and playgrounds; Port Lympne also offers a safari.
Wingham Wildlife Park (15 mins) is smaller but popular, with 200 species and a new dinosaur exhibit featuring 29 life-like models.
Castles And Keeps
Dover Castle, overlooking the town and sea, is a classic fortress with turrets and keeps. It hosts events and features the 'Secret Wartime Tunnels' from WWII—fun for all ages.
Nearby, Deal and Walmer castles are beautifully preserved.
Leeds Castle, 50 minutes away, is known as the 'loveliest castle in the world,' with a maze, gardens, and GoApe adventure.
Dreamland
This iconic Margate theme park has recently received a multi-million pound revamp. Restored vintage rides sit beside the beach, while global street food is served from quirky trucks and bars.
Alongside rollercoasters and ghost trains, there’s plenty for little ones, with smaller rides and pop-up entertainment.
