Location:

Ramsgate is rich in heritage with more than 430 listed buildings including 200 in the harbour area. The Prince Regent was so enamoured of the town’s hospitality that he dubbed the harbour the Royal Harbour – the only one on mainland Britain while Queen Victoria was a regular visitor as a girl. The town includes a number of excellent restaurants along the seafront and stores in the town centre including Waitrose. The high speed train from Ramsgate station to St Pancras takes about an hour and a quarter and it is not far to the dual carriageway for access to Canterbury, Sandwich and Dover.

There are a number of theatres, cinemas and casinos in the area as well as the Westwood Cross shopping centre. While the sailing fraternity can moor their boats at the Ramsgate marina and enjoy the facilities at the Royal Temple Yacht club and, for golfing aficionados, there are numerous courses and clubs nearby including St Augustine’s and North Foreland as well as the Princes and St George’s championship courses at Sandwich.
