About Thanet

Thanet enjoys an attractive combination of coastal and rural environments and is a popular holiday and day-trip destination. The Kentish countryside of rolling hills, woodlands and pretty villages is within easy reach as are miles of coastline varying from sandy beaches to towering cliffs.

 

The County of Kent also offers a rich array of historic attractions and magnificent buildings whilst northern France and Belgium can be easily reached via ferries from the nearby Port of Ramsgate, port of Dover or the Channel Tunnel.
