It looks like there’s axe throwing. That’s where I’d head for. Did you have a go at that?

If Percy Powell-Cotton explored Africa and Asia, where did the alpacas from South America come in?

The gardens are really a huge lawn with smaller areas scattered off them. Pleasant to decompress, but not a patch on the museum, where you've got Cotton's safari suit complete with rips from the mauling.
First dioramas in the world. |

I'd echo that about the garden. Access is past the toilets as you surmised. You really did see all the good bits.
There is an hourly bus which stops outside the gate, but I'm not sure about bank holidays. Well, nearly hourly. No one but bell ringers can see inside the tower except for very rare open days. The good report which we have come to expect. Even take for granted perhaps. Glad you enjoyed the place. |

What a quirky place! I'm surprised I've never heard of it before!

The hourly bus is now only every 90 minutes, following recent subsidy cuts. But by non-London standards, Thanet is generally well-served by bus - Stagecoach has been a good steward and doubled passenger numbers in East Kent over 10 years.

A fleeting glimpse of Waterloo Tower is to be had from Manston Road in winter.

Several streets in the area between West Hampstead and Kilburn are named after places in East Kent, including Quex Road- also Fordwych and Birchington for example. One of the nearby streets, Acol Road, named after another place in East Kent, gave its name, via the Acol Bridge Club in West Hampstead to one of the standard bidding systems used worldwide in contract bridge.
