Be a Railway Child for the Day 19 June 2010
Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway
Why not spend a day at the seaside. We meet at 12noon at the beginning of the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, at Hythe Station, where there should be ample parking, and travel to St Mary's Bay. We are now close to where Edith spent the last few years of her life. A short walk (about 10 minutes) brings us to the sea where we can enjoy a leisurely picnic. We return to Hythe by train.
