Margate
Margate has many delights, the most recent addition being the Turner Contemporary, which is transforming the historic Old Town into an area for artists and craftspeople. As well as the good old fish and chip shop, there are a number of good restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs serving local fare to choose from, so something for everyone. There are miles of beautiful coastline to explore either on foot or by bike, with evening walks along the promenade watching the sun setting across the water. You can visit Botany Bay and play pirates in the hidden caves, or just enjoy the sandy beaches at Joss and Kingsgate Bays. Dreamland, at the heart of Margate and for many generations, the premier amusement park in the South of England is currently being restored to once again become one of the major draws to the seaside. For those of you who love a bargain, there are a host of junk shops in the Northdown Road area and in the beautiful Market Square in the Old Town, a Saturday Farmers Market and a Craft and Antiques Market on Sunday. Margate also has some of the best vintage clothes shops around. There's a lively local jazz music scene and The Winter Gardens continues to present many acts from around the UK and beyond.
There are many attractions to the area and the one which draws most people is of course of the sea. The coastal towns of Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Whitstable all have their own unique atmosphere and don’t forget the beauty and history of Canterbury.
So, welcome to Margate!
