Cat's Eye Carving, Gallery and working studio.

You'll find this working studio tucked away near Sandwich, where a sculptor has set up shop carving - you've guessed it - cat eyes. The gallery showcases finished pieces alongside the artist's broader work, and you can actually watch the carving happen if you time it right. It's the kind of place that sounds niche on paper but pulls you in once you're there, especially if you've got an eye for craft.

The appeal hinges on how much you care about bespoke sculpture and artist process. If you're into that sort of thing, it's genuinely absorbing - you get to see the tools, the precision work, the finished detail up close. Parents with young kids might find it a bit slow unless their children are already interested in art. Walkers and history types will appreciate a stop-off during a Sandwich exploration, but it's not a two-hour commitment.

Admission details are thin on the ground, so ring ahead before you visit. Allow 30-45 minutes if you're stopping by casually, longer if the artist is working and happy to chat. The location works well if you're based at Sandwich Leisure Holiday Park or Fallow Fields Camping - both within easy reach. Pop this in alongside a wander through Sandwich's medieval streets rather than making it the sole reason for a trip. It's a proper local discovery rather than a destination in itself.
