Dog-friendly holiday - no car though

Having 'enjoyed' travelling yesterday, Bank Holiday Monday, on Southern and Southeastern trains, I would question the wisdom of anyone thinking of doing the same. Dogs were being trampled on, as were people, if we had been cattle and sheep we would have been given more space and incidentally, one of the places we visited was Dover. Goodness, it is a complete dump, the shops have closed down and apart from walking along the seafront, there is nothing there. There were three cruise ships in port and I saw bewildered passengers desperate for the bus back to the port. The sensible ones had gone to Canterbury or London.. I won't go again!

It was absolutely packed, the police were called at one station which delayed the train but delays did not seem to be the main issue. You may well be sensible staying in Whitstable which may not attract the same people that other resorts on the Kent coast appear to on Bank Holidays. Of course, the hot weather no doubt made things a thousand times worse and travelling home on Monday morning may be a much better idea that late afternoon when the world and his dog were travelling.
