Thanet Coast Path

Birchington to Ramsgate

Monday 8 September 2008 - 14 Miles

ID08092008#36

The Isle Of Thanet intrigued me - it was one of few parts of Kent, and Includes a number of towns, that I had never visited before.  The Saxon Shore Way cuts inland from Reculver and so bypasses this area, due to the geographical landscape in Saxon times.  A mainly (sub) urban walk,  along sea defences and along promenades, this was an interesting, walk, through some towns that have obviously seen better days, and some nice views and countryside.

   

Birchington

Clifftop defences - presumably from WWII

Approaching Margate

The Jetty - apart from this revamp, the prom is very neglected

(Cliftonville) Lido Sands - Now it is literal!

More disuse, this was the cliff railway that used to serve the Lido

North Foreland Lighthouse

Broadstairs

Ramsgate

Pegwell Bay and Richborough (former) power station
