Life on the Cobbles

BY JODIE GILBERT & MIA CHAPMAN

M arch is made for movement; for hopping from street to street, darting into shops, catching the instantly familiar smell of sea air and following the low hum of chatter drifting out from cafés and pubs. This is Kent at its finest, when sun-warmed stone feels good underfoot, doors start to prop open again and cobbled streets gently pull you along rather than slow you down. As the days begin to draw out, March is the perfect time to become more curious. Coffee first. Always coffee first. Then browsing, wandering, tasting, doubling back and discovering something you did not plan on at all.

From cathedral cities to harbour towns and market streets, each stop in this journey offers its own perfectly paced day out, with places to explore, spots to eat and corners to linger in. www. insidekent. co. uk • 43
