Herne Bay is a town by seaside in Kent, South East England. The world’s first freestanding purpose-built Clock Tower is located at Herne Bay’s seafront. It is built in 1837, from the late Victorian period until 1978. Herne bay is also home for second longest pier in the United Kingdom. The town really started as a smaller than usual delivery network by getting merchandise and travelers from London in transit to Canterbury and Dover. The seafront has a 3 km (2 mi) shingle shoreline. There are so many tourist attractions to visit here. It’s also a convenient place to explore nearby areas. You can go to a glamping spot in Canterbury, less than 30 minutes away, for a unique experience. Check out the list of best Airbnb vacation rentals in Herne Bay, United Kingdom.
