All Souls Cheriton

The church sits quietly on the edge of Cheriton, a village that most people drive straight through on their way to Folkestone. All Souls is a proper medieval building, the kind that rewards a quick stop if you're already in the area rather than a deliberate detour. The interior has that cool, hushed feel churches do - simple enough not to overwhelm, with enough period detail to make it worth a wander round.

History buffs will find the usual markers of a working parish church: memorial stones, a few monuments dotted about, the sort of thing that tells you someone's been worshipping here for centuries. Architecturally it's solid rather than spectacular, which is half the charm. There's no entry fee and no faffing about with opening times - it tends to be accessible during daylight hours if you're prepared to try the door.

If you're based at Daleacres Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite just down the road, it's a pleasant ten-minute walk that breaks up the day without eating into your holiday time. Same goes for New Beach Holiday Park a touch further afield. Neither park is screaming for distractions, so honestly, unless you're genuinely into church architecture or local history, this is more of a stretching-your-legs stop than a main event. That said, the village itself is peaceful, and the walk there matters more than the destination.
