The Christmas period can take its toll on both the body and the brain – excessive food and drink consumption, as well as the rifts and arguments that can happen when family spend too long together are common problems at this time of the year.
A great tonic for both of these things is a lovely winter walk. Romney marsh is a great place to go if you are seeking a wintery walk – there are lots of things to do in Romney Marsh as well so why not escape and have a bit of peace this festive season.
Here are a few places in the area where you can go to enjoy the wintery countryside…
Dungeness – This strange and eerie place might look a little barren but is actually a nature reserve that is home to many species of flora and fauna, some which are only found here, nowhere else in the UK! Head out across this unusual landscape where you may well see many species of birds as well as the Old Lighthouse.
Greatstone Lakes – For a bit of peace and tranquillity by the water, then this is the walk for you. Take in the picturesque scenery, as well as the man-made parts of the landscape with a fascinating history – the sound mirrors.
Royal Military Canal – This long canal is a popular walking route, and is full of history, as well as being home to many animals, plants and birds. Pleasant and tranquil, this is a fantastic walk for restoring peace and calm.
