BROADSTAIRS TOWN TRAIL
CRAMPTON TOWER MUSEUM, Broadstairs
THE SHELL GROTTO – a fascinating place to visit
There are plenty of great places to visit in and around Broadstairs, just a short walk or bus ride from the College.
One of these is the fascinating Shell Grotto in Margate, which is an ornate subterranean passageway. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totalling about 190 sq metres of mosaic, or 4.6 million shells. It was discovered in 1835, but its age and purpose remain unknown. The Grotto is a Grade I-listed building and is open to the public.

LYNNE HOENES: Head of Marketing
Hello, my name is Lynne Hoenes. I first came to Hilderstone in 1999 as Marketing Assistant and now I am Head of Marketing. I work closely with the Principal to plan and oversee all of our marketing activity.
An important part of my role is to liaise with Educational Tour Operators who recruit students from around the world to study at Hilderstone, making sure they have the support and resources to promote the College well.
My job involves some travel: representing Hilderstone at education exhibitions and workshops, meeting students, parents, teachers and our overseas partners. I consider myself very lucky to have the opportunity to do this.
