Margate to Broadstairs: Kent's Iconic Coastal Walk

Discover one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in the South East on this guided 10-mile walk from Margate to Broadstairs.
About this Event

We'll begin at Dreamland Car Park, Margate, heading inland through the peaceful Thanet countryside before reaching the beautiful seaside town of Broadstairs. Along the way we'll pass open farmland and a traditional Kent windmill before arriving at the coast.From Broadstairs, we'll follow the stunning King Charles III England Coast Path, taking in dramatic white chalk cliffs, breathtaking sea views and some of Kent's finest beaches. Highlights include Viking Bay, regularly recognised as one of Britain's best beaches, the spectacular chalk stacks of Botany Bay, praised by Lonely Planet for its unspoilt sands and fantastic rock pooling, together with Joss Bay and Palm Bay.Where tides allow, we'll leave the clifftop path to enjoy sections of the shoreline itself, giving us a unique perspective of this beautiful coastline.Returning to Margate, we'll pass the historic Winter Gardens, the bustling Harbour Arm, and finish beside the iconic Turner Contemporary.This is one of our favourite coastal walks and showcases exactly why Kent is known as the Garden of England.Walk Details
