The South East England / Kent region

Ramsgate is on the Isle of Thanet - so called because it used to be virtually separated from the mainland by rivers and marshland. Kent is England's oldest county, known as the Garden of England for its abundance of locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables. It is an amazingly diverse county with ancient towns and villages, the historic walled city of Canterbury, rolling grassland and agriculture and beautiful stretches of coast and sandy beaches.

Ramsgate area

Just a few minutes' walk from The Moorings, you can stroll to Ramsgate Sands at low tide and walk to Broadstairs, famous home of Dickens, or, turning right, to Pegwell Bay, a nature reserve, well known for its orchids, nature walks and picnic sites. It is a perfect place for biking, with well planned cycle routes along the coast. There are plenty of good local restaurants - a favourite is Surin, serving Thai food just 3 minutes' walk away and there are also local Italian, Chinese and French restaurants and Pizza Express, as well as really good fish and chips. Boat trips run from the harbour, 2 minutes away from the apartment, to see the seal colonies on Goodwin Sands. Or if you are really adventurous, you can hire a yacht and go sailing.

The town has a great mix of larger chain stores (including a Waitrose) and small independent retailers. A must-see is the haberdashery shop on Harbour Street - which possibly has the largest collection of buttons anywhere! - and each Friday and Saturday the streets come to life as the weekly market sets up and traders vie for your attention. There is a quaint little cinema too about 5minutes' walk away - the Granville - which is on the seafront and sister to the Windsor in Broadstairs.

Ramsgate is an architects' and artists' delight - Pugin, who designed the ornate interior of the Palace of Westminster has left his mark throughout Ramsgate and his lovely home is open to the public several times a year. Ramsgate has the 2nd largest number of listed buildings in the country. Turner painted some of his stunning seascapes locally and the quality of light is still remarkable.

There are festivals and special events virtually every week in Ramsgate and the immediate area throughout the summer, the most famous being Ramsgate week, the Royal Temple Yacht Club's annual regatta which attracts many sailors and would-be's. There are also the Power Boat and Water Ski Grand Prix, the Wantsum jazz festival and continental market weekends.

Ramsgate is closer to the continent than the Kent county town of Maidstone. Why not include a day trip to France or Ostend as part of your holiday? The Transeuropa ferry goes from Ramsgate to Ostend in Belgium, a short drive from Brussels and beautiful ancient city of Bruges. From Dover, you can take the P&O, Seafrance or Norfolk Line short ferry crossing to Calais. See the websites www.transeuropaferries.com, www.poferries.com, www.seafrance.co.uk and www.norfolkline-ferries.co.uk. Remember to bring your passport!
