Ramsgate's maritime history is decked with honour.Its harbour was granted 'royal' status in 1821 - in recognition of the hospitality given to King George IV when he sailed from Ramsgate with the Royal Squadron on his way to Hanover.

Today the rich vein of sea-faring blood that runs through the town is celebrated in its new marina, working harbour and golden sands.Its maritime past is waiting to be discovered, too, in a specially dedicated museum in the seafront clockhouse.

Ramsgate is alive with the sights of a town enjoying its regeneration while the sound of the wind can still be heard whistling through the rigging of the hundreds of boats that nestle within the sheltering arm of the harbour wall.

Beyond the eastern harbour wall Ramsgate does a double-take and presents an expanse of golden sands for guests who want to indulge in the time-honoured pleasures of the seaside such as kite flying, windsurfing, swimming or just relaxing under the sun.

Above the harbour, the town offers a cosmopolitan lifestyle.Excellent restaurants, a bustling shopping centre and the fine architectural features of its townscape reflect the appeal that has set the seal on Ramsgate's well-deserved renaissance.
