Summer Vacation, Day 19: Folkestone

July 29, 2026 · 2 min read · 11 visits

From Hindon we drove via Stonehenge to Folkestone, staying the night at the Little Satmar holiday park in Capel-le-Ferne. Dogs are not allowed on the bus from the Stonehenge visitor centre to the stones, so Nadine opted for the 20-minute hike with Aika instead. The boys and I took the bus. On her way she spotted a pheasant couple while we relaxed in our seats. Overall the visit was worth it, crowds and all. I am surprised I managed to get a picture of Stonehenge without people.
