Beauties are hidden just around the corner from good old London...About this Event
Time to get back to a jewel and a very popular hike, located on the Eastern Coast of the Isle of Thanet we will hike from Margate to Ramsgate via the gorgeous Botany Bay! You might have heard of it from all the newspapers in the past few years, it has become a very popular destination for people dreaming of a lovely seaside place with sandy beaches and cliff tops near London so LET’s go!
This day will be an easy relaxing day where we hike and stop for photographs.
Gorgeous landscapes cliffs and castles and seabirds will pave the way.
Botany Bay is considered one of Britain's hidden Jewels and there is a reason to that! White cliffs just like Dover or the Seven sisters, Castles and sandy beaches that resembles the Coast of Scotland in some places and natural arches shaped by the sea just like the Durdle Door… Trust me, you will be snapping quite a few shots!
We will take a break in the beautiful seaside town of Broadstairs where the Victorian houses are dominated by the imposing former home of the world famous writer Charles Dickens. THERE IS A delightful FISH AND CHIPS SHOP with vegan options too that will delight your senses. This town must be nice as it was Queen Victoria's holiday destination and the town has retained its 19th century character.
The hike is about 11 miles long and we will take our time and stop whenever we see an interesting feature, this trip has got some beautiful geographical hidden gems but also some interesting wildlife, a few pairs of Northern fulmars are established, a bird that was only native to Scotland, almost hunted to extinction until some efforts by some great people to save it, it is now thriving in Scotland and have even extended its range to Western and Southern England and even to the North of France.
We will probably linger in Broadstairs if you want to try the fish/crab and chips there unless you want to grab some food in Ramsgate before we get back to good old London.
