    Bike hire

    There’s no better way to explore our coast than a seaside cycle ride!

    And with bargain bike hire available right in our harbour, you’re all set for free-wheeling freedom. Choose between traditional pedal-power or a selection of e-bikes at our local bike hire shop – or drop in with your own wheels if you need a tune up and check over.

    Thanet coast bike tour

    Let our local cycling guide show you the sights by bike!

    Starting from Ramsgate and looping through Broadstairs, Margate and St. Peters – this leisurely 16-mile, full-day experience kicks off with a visit to our iconic lighthouse, glides past the former home of visionary architect Augustus Pugin and then on to the serene St. Augustine’s Abbey – plus stops for lunch and of course, ice-cream!

    You can bring your own bike, or bike hire is included in the tour.

    Viking Coastal Trail (Thanet Loop)

    Where else can you conquer a whole corner of the coast by bike? 

    Hugging the coastline from Ramsgate, through Broadstairs and Margate, and then onto Reculver Towers – this circular cycle route takes you around the charms of the Isle of Thanet via Regional Cycle Network 15. 

    Enjoy sea views and breath-taking scenery from your bike on this well-signed and mostly off-road, traffic-free route. Take a day to do the loop, or take on a shorter section for a leisurely ride.
