Unfortunately, I don't have much information about the old chalk pit in Finsbury. However, during my exploration, I stumbled upon an old tunnel that ran beneath the chalk pit. Unfortunately, I couldn't take any photos of the interior of the tunnel as my camera ran out of power.

.The site where the village stands can be traced back to the 12th century, but it was rebuilt during the 15th century. Currently, the site is owned by the National Trust.

You can either take a boat or walk to the island, depending on the tide. During our visit, we had to take the boat because the tide was high and we missed the crossing. The castle is a must-see and definitely worth a visit.

Unfortunately, I don't have much information about the pillbox I came across, as my online search didn't yield much results. I spotted the pillbox/lookout point from afar and made a beeline for it since I was keen on exploring it. The journey to the pillbox was interesting, but it was a bit of a walk.

While we were in Margate, I decided to check out the lido. To my surprise, we were able to walk in with ease and spent a good few hours there. I learned that the lido was built by a man named John Henry Iles, who was also the creator of Dreamland. Sadly, the pool was shut down in the 1980s and has since been left to decay.
