The Kent and East Sussex railway runs from Bodiam, site of a splendid castle and a fine though slightly expensive pub, to Tenterden Town. Tenterden, like Rye, was once a port and part of the fortified south east coast. Today it is an attractive Tudor, Regency and Victorian little town at the end of the line.
If you enjoy a little burst of nostalgia: that steam engine smell, the leather strap windows in the carriages, the noise, the smoke and steam rising above the trees, you can spend a happy day going up and down this line.
