This summer landlocked Blists Hill will be hosting its first seaside experience, complete with sand and donkey rides. On 29 and 30 July, check out the trunks worn by Captain Matthew Webb, a local lad who in 1875 became the first recorded person to swim the English Channel without artificial aid. Parents can sit back and relax in deckchairs while kids get sand between their toes or take a ride on the old-style carousel.
