Ramsgate’s Royal Harbour is much more than a beautiful place to watch the boats go by. Its quays, piers and surrounding buildings tell stories of pioneering engineers, fishermen and Smack Boys, shipwrecked sailors, lifeboat crews, Dunkirk Little Ships and vessels that have played their own remarkable part in British maritime history.
Our new Royal Harbour Heritage Trail brings some of those stories to life through 14 information boards around the harbour.
[PULHAMITE TRAIL]
Ramsgate is home to one of the largest and most ambitious examples of Pulhamite coastal landscaping in the country, with five Grade II listed seafront locations forming a nationally important open-air heritage trail.
The suggested east-to-west route begins at Winterstoke Gardens on the East Cliff and continues towards Albion Place Gardens, Madeira Walk, Royal Parade Harbour Arches and Western Undercliff Chine.
Soak up your surroundings with this twin trail around our town – taking in the riviera vibe, Regency architecture and our royal connections, all in under two hours.
Plus there are plenty of cosy pubs, cafés and eateries along the way to keep you going!
A walk with bays and beaches galore!
Explore the spectacular scenery of the Thanet coastline with this stunning 7 mile trail – taking in the best sands from Ramsgate to Margate, via the chalk stacks of Botany Bay.
At low tide, you can walk the entire route along the sands and catch a bus or train back.
Boats, birds and a beautiful bay await you on this 6 mile walk, which packs in the nautical and the natural in equal measure.
Bring your binoculars to spot the abundance of wildlife – from basking seals in the bay, to wading birds along our local nature reserve. No zooming-in needed to spot our Viking ship along the way!
A walk that takes in the coast, cliffs and café cultures of two of Kent’s finest seaside towns.
From bustling harbour to Victorian backstreets – via some hidden gems – this trail has it all, and all under 3 hours.

[CHINE TO CHINE | RAMSGATE RAVEN TRAIL]
Here in Ramsgate, we love a walk or three and with our ever growing creative community we’ve got ourselves a public art trail which takes you from west to east or vice versa, either way, you are guaranteed to enjoy discovering these little gems stretching from chine to chine!
This Trail follows the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh when he stayed in Ramsgate during 1876. The trail has been created using extracts from Vincent’s letters to his brother Theo.
The trail is approximately 1.6 miles and takes you on a short journey from Spencer Square down to the harbour and continues along the inner marina, ending at the Main Sands.
