Photos
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.
Closer to Brodstairs is Ramsgate, home to the only ‘Royal’ Harbour in the country with a sparkling marina, the Maritime Museum, award-winning sandy beach, cater-for-all town centre and clifftops that beg to be rambled.
There are many 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 shops that are shaping the resort’s growing cultural quarter.
In nearby Manston you can visit the Spitfire Museum which fantastically illustrates Britain’s great aviation heritage and memories of the Battle of Britain.

The town's quaint high street leads onto a promenade with landscaped gardens overlooking one of seven beautiful beaches, each one offering something different. The resorts main beach, Viking Bay, has a small harbour, children’s amusements, a victorian bathing pool and amenities including showers and lifeguards all on the golden sands. Joss Bay is larger sandy beach set against the white cliffs perfect for boogie borading kayaking and with its very own surf school and beach cafe. Botany Bay is quieter and more secluded as are Stone Bay, Kingsgate Bay, Louisa Palm and Dumpton Gap are all within easy walking distance and offering an unprecedented choice of beaches.
