My First Visit To BROADSTAIRS - My MIND Was BLOWN!

  • This place completely shocked me! Broadstairs is a real hidden gem situated on the Kent coast between Margate and Ramsgate. As the sun has decided to finally emerge, this is the place to go this Summer! In this 4K walking tour I’ll be taking you along the seafront, taking in the views and showing you all the things to see and do in this picturesque seaside town on the Isle of Thanet. It was my first visit and I’ll definitely be returning.
    Walk with me as I explore three of the seven (!) beautiful sandy beaches that Broadstairs has to offer, walk along the clifftops, check out the quirky independent shops and art galleries on the charming Victorian streets and alleyways, get a beer at one of the many pubs near the harbour, try out the fish and chips and of course, as usual, get a coffee! This town was Charles Dickens’ favourite holiday destination and I visit the famous ‘Bleak House’ towering over Viking Bay, where he stayed in the 1800s and wrote ‘David Copperfield’ - there’s also the Dickens House museum to check out which contains a wealth of memorabilia. There really is something to do for all of the family.
    Perfect for a day trip from London or a proper holiday, come and see why this spectacular town is one of the best places to visit in Kent!
    If you don’t know me already, I’m Jack and I’m exploring the UK, making travel vlogs as I go. I’d be so grateful for your support, so please do like the video, leave a comment and subscribe to the channel!

    Broadstairs is the nicest place to visit in Kent. It's like going back in time to a gentler England. Sitting in The Albion enjoying a drink looking at the sea. Great fish and chips. The Chapel bar where you can choose from dozens of local ciders surrounded by second hand books, which you can read and even buy. It has quite a few festivals throughout the year. It has a strong Italian influence with all it's ice cream parlours.

    Grew up in Ramsgate (which is now a tip) and Broadstairs was the "posh" place. The Tartar Frigate pub was the fave, and eating at Marchesi's was the famous Italian restaurant. I wonder if they still do the Dickens festival. That was big in the 60's. Definitely a favorite spot since most of the east Kent coast is falling into disrepair.

    It's a lovely place. Or should I say, was!
    Born and bred and live here in Margate, 43 years. Sadly over the last 5 years it has become a horrible place to live! Once a beautiful and peaceful location with lots of countryside and trees, now ridden with horrible new houses, poorly designed roads and awful traffic, so over populated, it's a headache living here now. I wish people would stop building more houses here and taking away our land and peace. If you are thinking of moving down here, avoid!

Everywhere has changed so much, but I am impressed how clean Margate appears today. The fish and chips look good and I wish I had visited before moving away from the east coast.

    As a real cider enthusiast, for the last three years I've holidayed in Ramsgate, and Broadstairs is only 15 minutes on the bus. Four pubs sell cider: The Royston, Mind the Gap, The Magnet, and The Chapel. The New China Inn briefly shown (10:24), is fantastic value, Chow Mein and a drink around £8-£10. I don't stay in Broadstairs because hotels are probably dearer and it lacks a Wetherspoon where I usually have breakfast.

    My favourite place in the world. Come here every August for folk week. Partly for the music, much more for the atmosphere, pubs, shops, beach etc. It’s a lot different to your video though, the whole town is PACKED!. Worth a visit then to compare

    I've lived in Thanet for well over 50 years and Broadstairs has always been my favourite town. Ramsgate used to be lovely but everything touristy has gradually disappeared from it. It's definitely getting better all over Thanet in recent years but Broadstairs is still my favourite - there's so much of it to explore. I've said before that if we didn't live here we'd come to Broadstairs often for days out in our camper. You made it look even nicer!
    Edit: You need to visit Sandwich!

    Hello Jack,
    Thanks so much for being in Broadstairs so soon after your call to name destinations. You have made me very happy. The place is just as marvellous as I remember it. I was especially pleased that you had your cappuccino in "The old curiosity shop". I love that shop. A little tip, if you're there again, go to the toilet. It's worth it :-) .
    I would even suggest you make an appointment. Sometime between 09 and 16 August. That's when Folk Week is on in Broadstairs this year. Really highly recommended.
    I really hope we can make it to Broadstairs again this year, with a bit of luck in October or November. And who knows, maybe we'll see you at Dumpton Gap and your dog and our Bernese Mountain Dog will have fun at the beach, while we enjoy a hot tea or coffee together.
    Thanks again for the great video and best wishes from Germany
