VISIT CANTERBURY! CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL
Visit Canterbury and discover some of the best things to do in Canterbury. You’ll discover why it’s the jewel in Kent’s crown. Buzzing with a youthful vibe thanks to the UNIVERSITIES, Canterbury also excels at the historic. Parts of the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral date back to the 11th century. Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered there in 1170, one of of medieval Europe’s great places of pilgrimage and knowledge.
In regenerated Folkestone quaint streets meet cutting-edge art. In the CREATIVE QUARTER 100 artistic enterprises fill the cobbled, historic heart of town, along with pastel-painted studio-galleries, quirky stores, cool bars and chic eateries. The world’s first multi storey skate park is to be built in Folkestone creative quarter IN 2017 for the Roger De Haan Charitable Trust. A short stroll away, the mile-long clifftop promenade of The Leas offers SEA VIEWS TO FRANCE. Ride the historic Leas Lift down to the Lower Leas Coastal Park for a picnic or a BBQ, then get some sand between your toes on Folkestone's Sunny Sands beach. Restaurants abound; try ROCKSALT for super-fresh fish and superb harbour views. Eurotunnel Le Shuttle brings FRANCE closer too; from Folkestone, Calais is just 35 minutes away

MARGATE ON THE GO:
REGENERATION:
Turner Contemporary is one of the
UK’s leading art galleries opened in 2011. Situated on Margate seafront, on the same site where Turner stayed when visiting the town, Turner Contemporary presents a rolling programme of temporary exhibitions, events and learning opportunities which make intriguing links between historic and contemporary art. The gallery offers a space for everyone to discover different ways of seeing, thinking and learning.
The Turner Contemporary Art Gallery (opened in 2011), is spearheadingTURNER CONTEMPORARY IS A CATALYST FOR THE Margate’s regeneration and revival.REGENERATION OF MARGATE AND EAST KENT, ALREADY Designed by Stirling Prize winningWELCOMING OVER 1.5 million visits architect, David Chipperfield, the Gallery will make the best possible use of the natural light that Turner described as “the loveliest in all Europe”.

argate has been a LEADING SEASIDE RESORT FOR OVER 200 YEARS, and its history as a holiday town dates back to the 18th Century. Its accessibility from London made it an ideal destination for sea bathing, when bathing in a consuming seawater was thought to be beneficial to health. It is believed that Margate today is undergoing a long-waited REGENERATION which would bring its past glory back! North

First opened in the 1860s, Dreamland is the oldest amusement park in the UK. Margate now echos again with the sounds (and screams) of delight and wonder, as visitors old and young enjoy the Great British seaside amusement experience first-hand being reopened in 2011. The UK’s original Pleasure Park has been re-imagined, ready to welcome a new generation of fun-seeking visitors to an ‘old fashioned, yet oh-so-fashionable’ world of thrills, amusements and good times. There’s more than just brilliant retro rides and amusements. Dreamland is a world where vintage cool holds hands with modern design, and goes for a lovely beachside stroll
MARGATE OLD TOWN & THE BEACH Margate’s old town is a great place to just roam around and visit the little antiquities, coffe shops, vintage clothing and so much more. Since the old town is very small, close to the sea, you definitely need to sit down for a cuppa by the beach! It has a great atmosphere to while a day away and it’s easy to fall in love with this part of Margate.
Proposed Hotel
HOTELS IN MARGATE: The proposal for the Horsers Corner Site responds to
the increased demand for hotel rooms, which has been identified since the opening of the Turner Contemporary and the recent rejuvenation of Dreamland, both of which have given Margate a new sense of place and identity in the midst of the town’s revival, and have raised visitor numbers.
