@ Fowlmead Park just outside Deal on the Sandwich Road (near to Ham). From there you can seee the cooling towers of the Richborough power station and revel in the fact that you will be standing on land that used to be a massive slag heap.

 

If you're at a loss as to how to fill your weekend why not treat the kids to a bit of social history and enjoy some decent Kent beer, boxing tent and tug o war contest.

 

the last pit (Bettsanger) closed just 21 years ago and there is a goood 'Miner's Trail' for you to follow.

 

For those considering going down to sandwich for next year's Open make the most of the opportunity to source a decent B&B whilst there and get some proper Ale down your neck.
