POLLY HUMPHRIS iK DEPUTY EDITOR polly @ sidewaysmedia . co . uk
I ’ ve been a part of Sideways Media on and off since 2015 , leaving to have my third baby girl in 2018 and returning to the iK editorial team in 2021 as the resident queen of grammar . I can spot a misplaced semicolon at 1,000 paces , but writing is my lifelong passion and I can turn my hand to most topics having worked in some fastpaced newsrooms over the years .
I can ’ t think of a better way to lean into January ’ s post-Christmas slump than heading out on a long wintry walk before an afternoon spent beside a roaring fire , glass of red in hand . Luckily for us , Kent caters to this dreamy idea of a day by the bucketload with hundreds of beautiful walks and even more classic pubs . Check out my recommendations below .
Outside of work , I ’ m spontaneous and very adventurous . I ’ ll try anything once ( except bagpipes , which freak me out ) and I once got caught scoffing crisps by candlelight at an electricityfree yoga camp in Malawi .
My favourite things besides my lovely family are fitness , wine and cheese . It ’ s all about balance , right ?

TOP WINTER WALK Minnis Bay to Reculver is an accessible stroll along the postcard-pretty Thanet Coast that will blow away the cobwebs and leave you feeling brighter than when you set off .
TOP COSY PUB A ‘ proper pub ’ – think lowtimbered beamed ceilings and slouchy sofas – The Pepperbox Inn in the heart of Kent ’ s magical Weald will wrap you up in a warm , welcoming hug - and feed you very well , too .
TOP THEATRE NIGHT The Marlowe in Canterbury ’ s edgy , arty and hilarious programme of shows continues to impress ; Live at the Marlowe on Saturday 18 January will be a great night of live comedy .
