Hythe has a resident, solitary, dolphin who swims from the Imperial hotel away from the town centre.

He is really close to the shore and it made my Saturday to see him swimming around.

On a hot summer's day on the coast of a small town in Kent, your ice cream fantasy (well, one of them) can be fulfilled!

Rio's Ice Cream operates from an ice cream van. And she works at the seafront outside the Hotel Imperial.

Not only does Rio serve up the best ice cream, she is friendly, courteous and patient (I often take my clients with learning disabilities to see her).

The view can be outstanding. Look across the Channel to France; watch the locals fish for mackerel from the rocks; take a walk up the Prince's Parade promenade; or sit in your car in the nearby car park and watch the walkers, cyclists, roller bladers, and dog walkers go by while you enjoy a double coned ice cream for £1 - not bad for Kent!

Hythe is just west of Folkestone on the A259.
