With a 19-mile-long coastline wrapping ar ound Mar gate,
Broadstairs and Ramsgate, Thanet is undoubtedly the jew el in
Kent’s coastal crown while Folkestone’s creative scene is thriving
and raffish Deal has an edgy charm about it anchored down by
a truly beautiful seafr ont. Swap coast f or country with a jaunt
along the 153-mile long North Do wns Way, following in the
footsteps of pilgrims past over hills and grassland, through valleys
and ancient woodland and along Kent’s iconic White Cliffs. And

cobbled streets of Sandwich and Tunbridge Wells that pave the
way to a booming social scene.
The possibilities for a hugely fulfilling sta ycation exploring the
many faces of Kent are seemingly endless…which is as exciting
as the holiday you’ll have.
