Meopon Windmill

 Meopon Windmill

As part of the Wheels Time Trail, Meopon Windmill has become a notable stop. On Easter Sunday, we decided to visit and participate in their Easter trail while also marking this location off our list. It was great fun!

Park Mall shopping centre - Ashford

 Park Mall shopping centre 

Date April | Location Ashford | Demolished 

I have seen this place all over Facebook, and since I was already in Ashford with my daughter, I thought I would go and take some photos of the location through the gates. I enjoy documenting places that are being demolished or have already been demolished. Anyway, I walked around the entire building and took pictures of it. I also remember visiting this place a few times when I was in Ashford a few years back.

A  "Temporary" Carpark is due to open in December 2026 

Ashford Museum

 Ashford Museum 

Date April 2026 | Location Ashford | Open to the public 

This was the last location on the Wheels of Time trail that we had to visit, so we spent the day exploring Ashford and discovering what it has to offer. The museum is quite small, and we were in and out within about 30 minutes. My daughter really enjoyed the train set that you first see when entering the building. The museum is located in the churchyard and is a Grade II listed building, dating back to the 17th century. It was once a school.

The Tyrwhitt-Drake Museum of Carriages

 The carriage museum 

Date April 2026 | Location Maidstone | Seasonal - Open to the public on weekends.

This place has always been on my list of places to explore, but I kept missing the open days. When I saw that it was open to the public again, I drove down to Maidstone with my daughter to take a look. The museum is really interesting and has a little trail for kids to follow while exploring.

The museum opened in 1946 and was one of the first of its kind in Britain. It is only open during the summer months.
