Margate

Kent, United Kingdom

It can be your favourite place in the UK, has to be the Isle of Thanet on the East Kent coast, home to Margate. There is a thriving and quirky creative scene and the epic skies inspired the painter Turner, while the modern day Margate gave us Tracey Emin. The Isle of Thanet was the original home of the British seaside holiday, and today it’s where buckets and spades and sticks of rock meet boutique hotels and slick art galleries, while retaining a relaxed, down to earth charm. You will love to browsing around flea markets which are packed with retro gems and descending (hard hat included) into secret wartime tunnels.

Ramsgate is nearby with the country’s only Royal harbour while Broadstairs is the quintessential British beachfront town. You can eat fresh seafood right off the boat, explore one of the 15 sandy beaches and bays, climb chalk cliffs, or cycle the pathways of the Viking trail – and you have to have what’s been called the best pizza in the country at GB Pizza, then walk it off while watching the sunset over the sand.
