Hiya,


We are looking to book a last minute break, not too far from London suitable for a 3 year old and 1 year old. Ideally somewhere with facilities for kids but a bit rustic and relaxed and good value for money. Possibly searching for the Holy Grail of holidays but thought I'd put it out there!


Thanks!

You might find "good value for money" and "near London" a bit conflicting! Whitstable, Deal, Camber Sands, Aldeburgh, Southwold all nice but not terribly cheap (except caravan park at Camber Sands) - all less than 2 hours from London (Deal and Whitstable more like 1.5 hours). However, the saving in travelling time/hassle is a distinct bonus if you can find somewhere affordable... Dymchurch (Kent coast, near Folkestone) has a lovely kids funfair and a big sandy beach as well as a small railway but you probably wouldn't want to stay there for a week.


If you're looking at the moment you might get better prices as going out of school holidays? Hope you find somewhere nice.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
