Starting in Dickens’ Broadstairs, this walk takes in the spectacular bays of Thanet’s eastern tip
or nearly a year now, I’ve been ticking off stretches along the Kent coast. Dover to Folkestone brought dramatic scenery, but noisy traffic on a major road running along much of the route.was more tranquil, though the landscape was less impressive. This route – a nearly six-mile stretch from Broadstairs to Margate – is, I think, the best so far, with no traffic and impressive surroundings.
The route leads briefly back on to the road and a view to the left of York Gate, a notable pointed 16th-century archway. I head down a concrete ramp back on to the beach, striding in a relatively straight line with the promenade to my left.Rugged chalk cliffs await me at Stone Bay. Soon the sand is peppered with grey-blue stones and angry waves lick the jagged rocks at the sea’s edge.
From here, I head into Foreness Bay, home to a waterski and boat club, at this point taking the easier option of walking along the concrete promenade instead of the sand. A warning sign reminds visitors of the dangers of getting caught by the incoming tide.
