Margate & Ramsgate Information and Visitors Guide
Boasting the only Royal Harbour in the UK in Ramsgate, both Charles Dickens and Turner were regular visitors for the wide open skies and sandy strand. Blue Flag beaches compliment bracing walks around the Thanet headland. Winding lanes and quirky cottages characterise Broadstairs, a tiny resort dividing Ramsgate from Margate.
