Overview

Walking at a brisk pace from Ramsgate to Margate via Broadstairs and Botany Bay. We will walk along chalk cliffs and promenades taking in the views over the channel and refreshing ourselves with the sea breeze. Lunch stop near the Captain Digby at Kingsgate Bay for refreshments only. Please bring a packed lunch.

Finishing at Margate to enjoy the cultural pleasures of art and traditional seaside fare or just get the train back to London if you prefer. View it as a grand day out that’s worth the distance and cost.
