Ramsgate has a fantastic harbour front with loads of great all-year-round restaurants and bars to enjoy after a day's cycling and exploring the area. Or you can chill out with a bag of chips on the sandy beaches after a great cycle! There's the Viking Coastal Trail which loops around the whole 'Isle of Thanet' (route 15 on the signposts) and more recently, the Pier to Pier cycle taking you from Ramsgate to Deal which is listed on the Visit Ramsgate website. The town itself has a growing creative and music scene with lots of independent shops to explore. Head to Harbour Bikes in one of the harbour's iconic arches for bike hire, servicing and repair should you need it!

Broadstairs

TR3967 2m N of Ramsgate (map 179). To reach Botany Bay take the B2052 from Margate towards Broadstairs. About two miles from Margate centre turn left down Botany Road. The Captain Digby Inn is about ¾ mile further along the B2052 where the road makes a sharp turn to the right. Joss Bay is half a mile closer to Broadstairs: there is a large car-park on the cliff above the beach.
Continue on another ¾ mile towards Broadstairs, past the North Foreland lighthouse, and turn right into Lanthorne Road. Stone House (now split into flats) on the corner of the road was used by the Callis Court Gang for storage, and a tunnel linking the house to the coast was revealed when it collapsed under the weight of a bulldozer in the 1950s. Farm Cottage, where Snelling himself lived, is a couple of hundred yards further along on the right. At the far end of the road, a right turn takes you along Callis Court Road. Look down Fig Tree Road as you pass it on the left. The house with the small copper cupola was once the Fig Tree Inn. Anyone seeking work as a smuggler could find it here. Carry on along Callis Court Road, and at its end continue straight ahead into Elmwood Avenue. In the garden of a thatched cottage halfway down on the left is a row of caves that once hid contraband.
