![]() (Don't neglect your game though, or the AI will take over.) It can take 10-20 hours (!) for your ships to travel from planet to planet, so really you just check in every now and again and spend your monies. When I say it's long-form, I mean you log in every day or two and set up what you want your ships to do. But it's always more fun to be an asshole to people you know. You can send messages to other people, declare truces, break truces, and generally be assholes. That's when the backstabbing/politics comes into play. What seems like is a lot of fun, however, is playing with people you know. If you're playing with random people, it can be kinda fun. Send your fleets to conquer planets, advance your tech, etc. The rules/logistics of the game are simple. I first heard about it on the Gamers With Jobs podcast, as well as one of the more recent Idle Thumbs podcast. A few miles from Folkestone is the Kent Battle of Britain Museum, housing the best collection of Battle of Britain memorabilia in the UK, including dozens of aircraft.What is Neptune's Pride? It's a free-to-play (mostly!) browser-based strategy game. ![]() History buffs won’t go home feeling short-changed. ![]() Transport fans will love the Leas Lift, a funicular railway connecting the seafront to The Leas promenade.Īlternatively, walk along Folkestone Harbour Arm, a former railway track jutting out into the sea, that has been brought back to life as a public space with plenty of restaurants and bars. Take a stroll along The Leas, the town’s clifftop promenade overlooking the sandy beach which was landscaped in Victorian times, at the height of Folkestone’s popularity. The town’s burgeoning art scene is also evident in its Creative Quarter, home to galleries, artists’ studios and performance spaces. Far from it.įolkestone Artworks is the largest urban outdoor collection of contemporary art in the UK. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking that Folkestone doesn’t have a cultural heart. Instead, this is very much a local’s town. You won’t see the gentrification or second-home-for-Londoners vibe of Whitstable or Margate here. Whilst it may not have the visual charm of some of its Kentish neighbours, it does have authenticity in spades. Poor old Folkestone is often overlooked in favour of its Kentish seaside neighbours but ignore it at your peril. Two Kent seaside towns in one day can’t be bad. Or if you really want to stretch your legs and breathe in lungfuls of sea air, the cliffside walk will take you all the way to Deal. Head out past the port to pick up the cliffside coastal path that winds its way to the South Foreland Lighthouse, the first to use an electrically powered signal, in the village of St Margaret’s Bay. However, for me, the biggest attraction of Dover is the opportunity to take a walk along the top of those white cliffs, with views across the English Channel to France. These are five rooms of a Roman hotel dating from 200AD and feature large areas of murals. Or if Roman history is more your thing, visit the Roman Painted House. ![]() Have you seen the movie Dunkirk? It was from Dover Castle that the evacuation of Dunkirk was planned. Dating from the 12 th Century, it has played a key defensive role for over 800 years. Taking pride of place atop those iconic white cliffs is Dover Castle, complete with medieval tunnels and an underground hospital. The port town of Dover is not the most attractive seaside town in Kent. However, it has a rich history and offers some of the best walking in southeast England. ![]()
