- Ramsgate has an abandoned hovercraft port so of course we had to go and explore this hidden gem on the Kent coast.
We park up at Pegwell Bay and invite you to join us as walk around the Kent coast to Cliffsend near Ramsgate where there are not 1 but 2 astonishing sights to see. First of all we stop at the replica Viking long ship perched on top of the cliff before heading down the stairs to walk around the abandoned hover port.
This once bustling gateway to Europe linking the southeast of England to France is now left totally abandoned and despite the majority of the structures having been demolished still makes for a fascinating adventure. Join us as we try to put the pieces of the abandoned port back together discovering old roads, floor markings, the old slipway, abandoned footbridge and much more.

Thanks for that video - brilliant. In 1972 it was my 13th birthday, and my treat, a day trip to Calais on Hoverlloyd from Ramsgate. The hovercraft, from what I remember, was huge and very noisy. It was quite a bumpy ride too. I think there were two in operation. My parents and I were staying in Broadstairs for the week. Facilitating to see what has become of the hoverport, and it seems slowly given back to nature. I'm not sure I have any photos from that day sadly. If I do they are probably buried away in some boxes somewhere. l will have a look. BTW, love your videos :)
I remember it well, myself and some friends skivved off school one day back in 79/80 and came down too the Hoverport and got ejected from the hoverport restaurant area....
I remember the last time you visited here. Fascinating place to explore. Sad the hovercraft don’t run anymore.
We had been wanting to go back for ages! Maybe we will have to do one to the Isle of Wight just to experience it, would be amazing
The Viking long ship is so cool..Harry would love to see that, I used to be scared of hovercraft when I was little because they were so loud..love them now though, find them fascinating, would love to go on one to the Isle of Wight
The Viking ship is cool and in a really unexpected place. Would love to go on a hover craft just to experience it.
That would be interesting to see or explore. Looks like you had a great day. Although I'm not quite sure what a hover port is used for. With all thoes trees and plants it almost looks like a maze
The lines and tyres are from the go-kart park that was there great fun until it got closed down
An interesting vlog - you two have a passion for exploring 😉 Fun fact: The Viking ship was build in Denmark. In July 1949 - 51 tall, blond, blue eyed men crossed the North Sea - sailed up the Themes to London and was greeted at Tower Bridge before returning to Ramsgate, Here the landing was filmed and a clip was later used in an episode of Doctor Who 🤓😁
Oh wow who needs google when we have Kim, fantastic facts love it! We do indeed love exploring 😊
Love it going on an urban exploration - can't believe how overgrown the hover port has become since we went there last time
Maybe a visit to the Hovercraft museum at Lee on Solent open on Saturdays. One of the big Hovercraft in museum which operated on this route. It’s a good day trip Portsmouth to Isle of Wight on a Hovercraft
Oh good shout! Will research for next time we are back down that way as we go quite a bit!
Just down the road from me. Would love to explore this abandoned hoverport though.
That was an interesting site, can only imagine what it looked like back in the day. I liked the Viking Long Ship replica, looked real from a distance. I noticed another vlog on TH-cam entitled Ramsgate Tunnels-Above&Below Tours. From the picture it looks like it is a guided tour which you may not like.
You asked about the words on the road and you could read “cars” - my guess is underneath, it would have said “Keep Left” so that any “foreign visitors” who had taken their cars on the Hover and would be driving in England would be aware that they will be driving on the left hand side of the road and not the right!
I went once on the Hover way back in 1973/4 with my mum, sister - who is not a “good” traveller 😉 my bro in law and their toddler son ….. unfortunately, from the moment the Hovercraft hit the first wave on our trip to Calais my sister was very “illl” 🥺 and just moaned and groaned all the way to the Calais Hoverport! We spent the day in Calais with my sister, whose complexion during the day, wavered from deathly white to green, and I had visions of having to stay in Calais forever as my sister was refusing to get on the Hover to go back to Ramsgate! 😂 (and I won’t mention my sister and the “French Toilet”!! 😱😂)
I can’t remember have you ever been to the site where the new theme park is going to be?
hi jason and josh have you visited the hovercraft museum at lee-on-the -solent, i am sure you both would love it.
Hi Gaynor, no we haven’t but we are often visiting down that way so we will look it up - thank you for the recommendation.
Bro I Live Near There
