The South East England / Kent region
The nearby city of Canterbury with its narrow lanes, famous cathedral, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and the church of St Martin - England's oldest parish church - make up the city's Worlds Heritage Site.
Ramsgate is home to the only ‘Royal’ Harbour in the country and has a sparkling marina, the Maritime Museum, award-winning sandy beach, cater-for-all town centre and clifftops that beg to be rambled. There are lots of little cafes and pubs scattered along the waterfront and if you are feeling adventurous you can take a pleasureboat cruise around the harbour or venture further afield and explore the sandbanks and seal colonies that sit just off our coastline. You can even take a ferry crossing to Ostende in Belgium with Transeuropa Ferries.
Margate is a timeless seaside resort where traditional seaside fun and entertainment sits happily alongside modern water sports and exciting new developments. Margate Old Town is a must, housed in a 17th Century building, is the intriguing local history museum, a great contrast to the new galleries and individual little shops that are shaping the resort’s growing cultural quarter.
In nearby Manston you can visit the Spitfire Museum. The Museum illustrates the Britain’s great aviation heritage and memories of the Battle of Britain.
Broadstairs area
Beautiful Broadstairs was voted "second only to St Ives" as the best seaside resort in The UK's Guardian Newspaper in a Reader and Critics poll in July 2007
And June 2008 saw the area of Thanet named as the jewel in England's coastal crown, with Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Margate being given 10 Blue Flag awards for the cleanliness of the water and sands and high standards of facilities and safety.
A stroll around Broadstairs reveals quirky little lanes where tiny flint houses and fishermen’s cottages nestle amongst a variety of unusual local shops and boutiques.
The town's quaint high street leads onto a promenade with landscaped gardens overlooking one of seven beautiful beaches, each a little different. The resorts main beach, Viking Bay, has a small harbour, children’s amusements and garden on the sands. Joss Bay is more rural and offers great surfing opportunities, whilst Botany Bay is quieter and more secluded. Stone Bay, Kingsgate Bay, Louisa Palm and Dumpton Gap are all within easy walking distance offering an unprecedented choice of bays.
The quiet charm of Broadstairs belies the entertainment opportunities there. The resort has a full calendar of events from the annual Dickens Festival and Folk week to a great free summer entertainment program including firework displays, guided walks, Jazz, Blues and Country festivals along with many workshops, a Craft Fair and a full Children's Program. And there are a mouth-watering number of restaurants, bistros, cafes and pubs to choose from – you could eat your way around the world.
There are 3 major supermarkets and a new Shopping centre and retail park within 3 miles of Broadstairs Town Centre.
