Past the Lightship, Kindertransport sculpture and on along the seafront to the Trinity House time and tide bell, stopping for lunch (not provided, please bring your own picnic) before we walk on towards the hidden gem of Dovercourt Bay, with the High and Low lighthouses, beachhuts, a boating lake and even its own personal BANKSY street art.
