All aboard the
Margate train, whoop whoop. I only went for the day but next time I would get
an Air B&B and look at staying for the weekend to fully appreciate this
little slice of beachy heaven.
Location: Thanet, Kent
How to get there: On the train, from London Kings Cross,
St Pancras its about £18 return.
Best for: A bit of beachy fun with friends and
family.
1. Dreamland
You
can’t go to Margate and NOT visit the famous, Dreamland – to be honest it’s the only
thing I have really heard about Margate including the quirky nature of the
town. Dreamland has had huge investment in recent years with even more on the
way. With attractions to suit every age including a Ferris Wheel, roller-coaster
and even roller skating and funky food, such as Naughty Floss. This is truly a unique
location which every inch is instagramable – you can even get married here.
TIP:
Dreamland shuts at 6pm so make sure you go early to fit everything in.
Head
to Ziggyy’s Rooftop bar to catch those final rays of the day and watch the
incredible sunsets whilst sipping cocktails.
3.
Fish & Chips
You
can’t go to the seaside and not get Fish and Chips, we found a little place
called ‘Peter’s Fish Factory Margate’ right by the pier, when we went the
queue was HUGE but it’s worth the wait.
4.
Turner Contemporary Gallery
The
Turner Contemporary Gallery
stands in awe at the edge of the seaside
and it is free to enter, which is always a bonus although places like this
do survive on the kind donations from their visitors. The gallery has a rolling programme of exhibitions and
is great to wonder around.
I was only
there for a day so please note there are so many other things to see and do and
I hope to be back soon.
