Whilst I work on reinventing the SheppeyScum blog, I will finish the current series on the land of the Swampies with a photoblog of my last two trips there, highlighting all the major places on the island, with of course some of my lovely photos!
Visit Sheppey! It’s a lot nicer than you might think!
Getting to Sheppey
The last stop before Sheppey! Fun fact this is the least used train station in Kent.
I like this picture as it shows the new and old bridge as well as an old guy on a bike who has presumably come from the mainland to Sheppey.
Queensborough
In Queensborough, we spotted this Robin Reliant.
A gritty old tanker and tire in the mud, what more could you want?
Supposedly the best micropub in England.
Bluetown
Bluetown is less of a town and more a street these days.
Sign showing the former glories of Bluetown. There are two pubs here. I’ve been to both.
Sheerness-On-Sea
The train station in Sheerness knows how to welcome people!
Millwall-themed pie and mash shop in Sheerness, partly why they call it London-on-sea!
Marine Parade
Another micropub on the journey to Minster.
Remember phoneboxes? I’m sure many drug deal has been done here.
Some arcade in the middle of nowhere.
Minster-On-Sea
Left most of my photos on the go-pro.
Bay View
Bayview is a pub with a town around it. Here’s the pub.
Leysdown-On-Sea
Me eating cockles whilst wearing a Philippines Rugby League jersey in Leysdown-on-Sea. You want random? I deliver.
Savaloy and chips! Iconic seaside food, saveloy, and chips.
My brother getting the true Leysdown beach experience.
Classic 2 penny machines. Far too much effort.
Iconic UK beachside hits you can’t sleep in!
Warden
I reckon you could pick this up for $3000. Sheppey Holiday Village wasn’t exactly “happening”.
Sheppey Holiday Village wasn’t exactly “happening”.
Village entertainment.
Warden
The view from Warden Bay was actually pretty stunning.
