Hamlet of Shellness, Kent

Double groyne at Shellness

Uploader's Comments

Shellness is a private estate and notices all around tell casual walkers to keep out. However, at the end of the path along the sea wall from Leysdown Country Park, you just walk along the beach below the high tide level and it brings you past the hamlet, still giving good views of the variety of interesting houses. The beach, as the name suggests, is covered with thousands of shells - in fact there are no pebbles, just sand and shells. Walking south along the beach here, each groyne that is reached entails a step down onto the next level.
