An update of a decent coastal walk, first done 11 years earlier, on the Isle of Thanet. This version is undertaken in a 'clock-wise' direction, on a reasonable Autumn afternoon, starting from Margate. Thus, all the sea-views are on the walker's left.
There's the option of a low level walk, with a favourable tide, or a higher level one. Conditions enabled this walk to mix the two.
The charming resort of Broadstairs, where Dickens lived for a while, is nicely placed in the middle for lunch.
The walking is mainly on footpaths and concrete, which is easy, though a little harsh on ageing joints!

This is a gentle coastal walk linking 3 historic coastal towns. Much of the walk is along low chalk cliffs with views over the channel, with several secluded coves. At low tide, you can walk along the beach between them.
Ramsgate has an interesting old town area, a harbour with a harbour arm to walk along, with a bistro at the end, and a large new Victoria Pavillion.
Broadstairs also has an interesting old town, as well as a sandy beach and links to Charles Dickens.
Botany Bay is the most secluded and prettiest beach - its western end (only) with sand dunes is discreetly used by naturists.
This walk is covered by our Club's insurance. Our Club is registered on The British Mountaineering Council (BMC)
