I Found 1,200 Skulls Hidden in a Kent Church! (Hythe Travel Vlog)

Join me for a scenic exploration of Hythe, one of the most charming coastal gems on the South Kent coast. As part of my ongoing Exploring Seaside Towns of Kent series, this episode takes us on a classic Kent coastal walk packed with centuries of history, seaside atmosphere, and unique local heritage. I begin along the breezy seafront before taking in the defensive Martello Towers and the peaceful, tree-lined paths of the historic Royal Military Canal—originally built as a defense against Napoleonic invasion. My journey through town uncovers fascinating high street details, commemorative blue plaques, and the stunning architecture of St Leonard's Church. Inside, we take a quiet look at the famous St Leonard's Ossuary, home to one of the largest and best-preserved collections of human bones and skulls in the UK. To wrap up a brilliant day out in Hythe, I head over to the station to catch a glimpse of the miniature train departing along the world-famous Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. Whether you are planning a day trip to the Kent coast, researching local family history, or simply enjoy discovering historic British towns, I hope you enjoy coming along for the walk!
