Why Margate?
Where seaside charm meets cultural edge.
From the mysterious historic Shell Grotto, world class art-exhibitions and a thriving, independent food scene, to the famous sunsets that inspired so much of J.M.W. Turner's work.
Of course, no trip to Margate would be complete without a nostalgic visit to Dreamland. This beautifully restored amusement park is a piece of living history. This town provides a perfect dose of classic seaside nostalgia that appeals to all ages.
Only 90 minutes What more could you want from a coastal getaway?
