I came across this link while looking for day trips a while back: http://www.beenthere-donethat.org.uk...ndaytrips.html

Under the Canterbury entry, there is a Special Report button which I dutifully clicked, which led to a description of taking old steam trains and a website for such day trips. I didn't do any of those but it sure sounded fun - http://www.steamdreams.co.uk
