 | Kent - the Garden of England
Accommodation in Cliftonville, Ramsgate, Deal and Folkestone
Deal is full of old buildings and many have an extensive smuggling heritage - under the town is a warren of smugglers tunnels - often leading to local churches! The character in the town comes from the almost random styles and eras of houses all put together. Looking back at the town from the end of the pier gives a good impression of the rich history of the town. Many of the original buildings from the 1800's are still visible notably a collection of shops on Victoria Road Formerly prospect place - one still offering a Pharmacy.
Ramsgate is a busy maritime centre, with a maritime museum. Parts of the town are conservation areas and it has some fine architecture. In the Royal harbour and marina area you will find many cafes, restaurants and bars.
For a real change, discover Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh in the scenic south east corner of the Garden of England county of Kent.
It's a great place for a few days' break, for a day out to blow the cobwebs away or to pause awhile on journeys to or from the Continent |
