Travel in the English Countryside: Part 3


On our second full day in England, we left Canterbury after visiting the cathedral and drove to Dover. After John took this stunning photo of the White Cliffs of Dover and the English Channel, we left Dover and drove along the southern coast of England to Rye then to Brighton.


Rye is a charming town, once walled and gated against her enemies. We had lunch of hot soup, bread and cheese at a local eatery then walked the cobblestone streets before heading off to Brighton.

Brighton is of course a beach resort town for Londoners. The rocky beach was not very appealing to us. Also it was May, so not yet tourist season.
