Whitstable is one of the best places to go in Kent!
In this vlog I visit the heritage fishing town of Whitstable on the north coast of Kent for the first time. As far as British seaside towns go, this was by far my favourite day out in a long time and I was not expecting it to be as good as it was!
Most famous for it’s oysters and harbour area, it’s not your typical English seafront with bright lights, arcades and funfair rides - it’s so much more! Join me on this 4K walking tour as I walk from Tankerton beach to the picturesque Whitstable castle, onto the harbour and then a look around the town centre. See exactly why YOU should visit!
My name is Jack and I’m exploring the UK, making travel vlogs as I go. I’d be so grateful for your support, so please do like the video, leave a comment and subscribe to my channel here - youtube.com/@jackryanmiller?s...

I’m a OG DFL. I moved to Whitstable 15yrs ago from London/Kent borders and I absolutely love living here. It’s a beautiful place to live, the locals have been nothing but very friendly to me, the surrounding area of Kent and East Sussex is stunning to explore… I can see why floods of londoners are escaping the smoke to Kent/Sussex… but that’s exactly what I wanted to escape back then…

@jackryanmiller 8 месяцев назад

That’s great, I’m currently on the London border and definitely plan on moving to the coast at some point for the exact same reason! Whitstable definitely my favourite place I’ve visited this year

Great video. Outside at the Old Neptune is my favourite place in the world! Shame you missed the famous Whitstable sunset. There is also a series of local stencil art from Catman - Whitstable’s own Bansky - who has recently got his art of Shepherd Neame pint glasses. I saw you pass one without comment in the video. Just one thing - please don’t call Whitstable a fishing “village” though - this always really grates. It has a population of over 30k…

@jackryanmiller 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much, really appreciate it. That’s really interesting about Catman, I’ll have to investigate that further 😄

Another DFL from Croydon here. But - we moved into a pre-existing house 24 years ago. As much for the superior quality education for our son (as Kent education was then) and the pleasant , semi-rural way of life...We still love the place, but it's changing.

@rupertbaskerville 11 месяцев назад

I love Whitstable. I actually didn't know about the castle so will have to check it out on my next visit! Also 11:30 is definitely not too early for a pint. There is a great little pub / bar somewhere on the high street called The Black Dog, loads of cool old quirky things on the walls and they have an excellent selection of fruity or non-standard ciders. More of an evening vibe though.

@jackryanmiller 11 месяцев назад

Love it mate, would really like to see what it’s like in the evening. Maybe we should arrange a lad’s trip out there to go to The Black Dog ha ha 🤩

The “floating random pier” 😂 is the remaining part. There used to be an extension off the end of the current concrete structure. However, due to natural costal erosion, Hampton didn’t flourish as a sea-side town like, Herne Bay or Whitstable. I live in Herne Bay and I am very interested in the local history. There is a lot of history if you look in the right places.

@jackryanmiller 11 месяцев назад

Ah that’s really interesting, thanks so much. I can only apologise for my ignorance ha ha ha. Very envious of you living in Herne Bay though 🙏

@samuelkeyes9808 10 месяцев назад

@@jackryanmiller no need to apologise, you’re not ignorant at all. So many locals don’t know the true history of their own pier’s.

@quarky6395 7 месяцев назад

a lot of the pier was accidently burned down in 1970. then the storm of '78 came and removed the remaining middle section. hence why there is only the end of the pier that remaims today@@jackryanmiller

Intereting points of view, but you missed the Street Of Stones (only visible at low tide) at Tankerton- a unique feature indeed.

@jackryanmiller 2 месяца назад

Thanks very much. I’m actually planning on doing another video starting Tankerton and walking the other way so I’ll plan for low tide to see that!

You forgot to mention the car park you show, that it is £3.70/hour. Thats an expensive day in Whitestable ! However, it is a beautiful place, I was in the Neptune pub today. Next to the theatre, you missed the 'Peter Cushin' pub, converted from an old cinema, great deco, named after the famous actor who was a resident of Whitstable.

@jackryanmiller 3 месяца назад

Oh yes a shame about the price of parking. I’ve heard from a few people now about the Peter Cushing pub and the exhibition too, I’m a fan so would’ve enjoyed 😄

@bobbutcher7725 2 месяца назад

The big car park is called the Gorrell Tank because that is exactly what it is. Beneath all the cars, under the concrete, is a massive tank full of water. It used to be an open reservoir into which, as a kid, I threw stones. Was born, raised and worked in the town before moving away to a retire. Simply got too busy with people and the town, in my opinion, is a victim of its own success.

@jackryanmiller 2 месяца назад

Wow that’s so interesting! I would have loved to see it when it was an open reservoir

@bobbutcher7725 2 месяца назад

@@jackryanmiller The reservoir and now a tank takes surface water from the town and then pumps it out under the road and into the harbour. The pumping station building sits on a corner of the car park. On the inland side of the car car park off Westgate Terrace is a road called Reservoir Road.

Watched the video......nothing shocking about it! You may have been pleasantly surprised about what you found in Whitstable but shocked................? The word "shocked" is never spoke in the video. Some may misinterpret your hyperbole as just clickbait! Less "shocked" more "factual informative content " would be welcome! Other than that, keep it up! I will be shocked otherwise!

@jackryanmiller Месяц назад

Ha ha thank you , to be honest I am definitely one for speaking in hyperbole generally, but I was indeed shocked by how nice Whitstable is 🤪
