I think you can see the main attractions in a day but if you want to wander around the grounds and see the whole castle area you would probably need more time :) Thanks for hosting :)Sanna Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362746150369804815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501844275414856197.post-14468151120810809232016-10-12T14:03:47.551+01:002016-10-12T14:03:47.551+01:00It really is a gorgeous location.

Sadly I am usually stuck at the office :D Kids do really love going to castles it seems - we have only been to a few but I think we should visit more of them.

We stayed in a seaside campsite, so that made it extra special. It is a good place to go camping, I would definitely recommend it. Go summer though, it is cold round the seaside :D<br /><br />I wrote a post about our camping trip too, and will soon post another one about Folkestone things to do :) <br /><br /><a href="http://www.wavetomummy.com/2016/08/our-first-ever-camping-holiday-as-family.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wavetomummy.com/2016/08/our-first-ever-camping-holiday-as-family.html</a>Sanna Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362746150369804815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501844275414856197.post-90250595987124627682016-10-12T13:57:47.922+01:002016-10-12T13:57:47.922+01:00We were so lucky with the weather - so warm and su...We were so lucky with the weather - so warm and sunny!

But I know what you mean about not having time when on a road trip - you are just so keen on getting to your destination, and it is always a bit of a hassle at the crossing especially if you have a scheduled departure to make!

Stunning views. The EH membership I think costs about £90 for a family (up to 6 kids) so it's not bad value at all if you have a big family or visit two castles a year. Good value I thought.

My Nanna & Grandad took me to Dover Castle many years ago and I dragged them up as far as we could go even though they were getting on and had dodgy joints. They never forgot what I put them through! I haven't taken my children to Kent yet but I know they'd love Dover castle. Maybe we should plan a holiday there soon. #countrykidsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16506350549994224594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501844275414856197.post-15976417731640940262016-10-03T10:24:13.938+01:002016-10-03T10:24:13.938+01:00This looks a lovely place to visit - you certainly...This looks a lovely place to visit - you certainly picked a beautiful day for it!
