More than just a ferry port, fantastic history. Borrow the 'Dover - What We Saw' book for some great walks around key areas, and the Castle is fantastic.

With a working marina and the UK's largest Weatherspoon's pub, Ramsgate has some nice beaches. I like to walk the dog from here to Broadstairs (30 mins), stop for lunch or an ice cream (Flotsam & Jetsam/Morelli's) then walk back.

About 15 minutes walk north along the seafront, this sweet little garden is the perfect place to sit with a coffee (Hog & Bean coffee cart is there 7 days a week!) admiring the planting and the seaview. I usually keep walking along the golf course for another 15 minutes to let my dog run off the lead, the perfect hour walk in total.
