Ramsgate
Ramsgate is home to the only Royal Harbour in the country with a sparkling marina, award-winning sandy beach and cliff top to be explored. Ramsgate has stunning sweeps of Georgian terraces, splendid squares with Georgian and Regency villas, central courtyards or tranquil green gardens. It is home to the country's first modern house, The Grange, built by Augustus Pugin in 1843. Sample one of the many cafés, pubs and restaurants, many with spectacular views across the harbour. Relive your youth at the Pinball Parlour museum.
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.
A short stroll into the town centre reveals a great mix of large chains stores and individual shops and if you visit on a Friday or Saturday you will be greeted by the cries of the market stallholders as they vie with each other to sell their wares. A great opportunity for those who like to seek out a bargain.
And as the sun goes down, stroll back to the waterfront for a nightcap and wonder at the many lights reflected in the water, a beautiful holiday memory.
