You may not notice it that much (as you see it every day and you live right next to it) but the Thames really is quite an exciting place for activities. Take for instance sailing - here we are on the bank of the most famous river in the world. Pocahontas famously sailed up the Thames; Gravesend was for the longest time the most important port in England.
But despite the recent decline in interest, people can still enjoy and celebrate the naval history of Gravesend by joining the Gravesend Sailing Club.
What better way than to go down to the Gravesend Sailing Club with your children and see what it's all about. You may be surprised at what you discover! |
