- Ramsgate is a seaside town with a fantastic Marina and beach so we take a walk along the seafront to see what's there! We've been asked so many times to film Ramsgate and we're delighted to do this one as we agree its' one of the grandest seaside towns in England!
Ramsgate has historic architecture, pretty streets, a sandy beach, and-thanks to George IV-the only royal harbor in the United Kingdom. It's easy to get here by car or train from the capital, and makes a great day trip to the seaside near London.
Ramsgate
Here at the very edge of the Garden of England, three Georgian and Victorian resorts, each with its own distinctive character - Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate - cluster around the bays at the far end of the peninsula. There’s a retro feel to these harbour towns, miles of low chalk cliffs edge the peninsula, sheltering a string of secluded, unspoilt sandy bays. For the ultimate experience, you can cycle or hike on the Viking Coastal Trail, along a stunning shoreline and through tranquil lanes.
Perhaps being so close to Europe helps infuse Ramsgate with a cosmopolitan vibe. A bustling Royal harbour borders a yacht-packed marina, awash with history and overflowing with continental charm, it’s a must-see historic port.
South-facing Ramsgate is proud of its status as England's only Royal Harbour and boasts its own Meridian Line. Five minutes and 41 seconds ahead of GMT, you'll find it in the Maritime Museum, along with artefacts evoking the town's rich heritage of fishing, shipbuilding and shipwrecks. For something a bit different head to The Micro Museum, to find out about the history and ideas that led to the invention of the home computer. Take a tour underground at Ramsgate Tunnels a unique civilian wartime tunnel complex.
Ramsgate's compelling past includes landings by Anglo-Saxons, Romans and Saints - it is also part of the historic Confederation of Cinque Ports. Fine architecture peppers the town - elegant Georgian terraces and impressive Regency villas. Visit The Grange, the first so-called 'modern' house, built by architect Augustus Pugin, who designed the interiors of the House of Parliament. His and his sons' works dot the town - track them down on a self-guided tour.
Don't miss the Pugin and St Augustine Visitor Centre and Shrine, celebrating the first Archbishop of Canterbury - St Augustine who landed at Ebbsfleet in 597AD bringing Christianity back to England.
In Ramsgate, the water is irresistible. Hop on a boat trip to spot seals basking on the Goodwin Sands or discover gorgeous beaches and bays. Bask yourself in the warmth of the exquisitely restored, Georgian Italianate Glasshouse, situated in King George VI Park.
Superb walking trails lead from the bustling port to the exhilarating cliffs; walk the coastal path to Broadstairs, or head south on the epic Saxon Shore Way to bird and wildlife-rich Pegwell Bay Country Park. What better way to discover the town and surrounding area than on an Active Ramsgate, walking route.
Alternatively enjoy sitting at one of the waterfront bars or restaurants is a delight with a cosmopolitan feel.
The events calendar is bursting with annual and new events - Bucket and Spade Run, Battles for Victory, Ramsgate Week, Addington Street Fair, Christmas Illuminations and many more all waiting to entertain you
Ramsgate's main attraction is its coastline, and its main industries are tourism and fishing. The town has one of the largest marinas on the English south coast, and the Port of Ramsgate provided cross-channel ferries for many years.

I grew up here. I now live in Australia and used this video to show my children. Thank you! So nostalgic for me.
I also grew up here in Kent Terrace...from 1945 to 1980...this video makes me weep, but also very happy...I have lived in the old DDR Germany, since 2002., but I miss Ramsgate.. greetings from Germany.
6:37 Lovely video, Thanks. I used to live there early 90s worked in Waitrose.
It's where I met my best friend Michael Chisholm. He has recently passed away and it reminded me of good times there.
Thanks
Sorry to hear you lost your friend
Hopefully the video made your happy memories come back
@@GimbalWalkTV They did..hi from Italy btw.. nice walk to do
I'm going to spend a week on a study trip with my highschool , it looks good

Thanks Carl - that's such a lovely message!
Same to you and yours!
Another great & fantastic video of RAMSGATE!.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks again!
I live in Ramsgate. Im going to say dont judge how a town feels or even looks from internet photos and videos. Ramsgates Royal Harbor and much of the beach that isnt covered in asphalt is quite beautiful, although the other 95% isnt too great. This is coming from someone who lives in a nice part too.
On the other hand Deal isnt exactly a pretty town but it is somewhere i generally feel safer a lot of the time, and there is definitetly a much better ‘feel’ with a better community.
Well said
Live there too, absolute shithole, unsafe and constantly declining
My grandparents use to live right up there in the corner of Albion road can see the window down the end the black car in under facing you, also right about where you left of at end of video is where my parents stayed for a while just after I was born in 1969 in Margate, a lady (Mrs. Adey I think was her name) took them in as they had no where to stay and my mum said she more or less saved hers and mines life.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane I love Ramsgate and if ever I move back from the US to the UK it would be where I would want to live.
Thanks again for the walk, lovely views over the Marina.
Yay, ramsgate was our weekend beano destination. Ahh, the memories of youth.
Remember the US Marines marching with style on the streets of Ramsgate when the USAF were still stationed at Manston. Miss the model village....
Wow - be that was a sight Ray!
I've been on this lovely walk.❤
Lovely stuff - great isn't it!
