Regency House (listed, Grade II), Royal Road, Ramsgate

The Isle of Thanet is in Eastern Kent, and enjoys above-average sunshine. Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate, the three main towns, have their separate characters. With 26 miles of golden sandy beaches and secluded bays, it is not difficult to pass a hot sunny day watching life go by. There are also plenty of pretty villages and rambling country lanes to explore.

The nature reserves at Monkton and Pegwell Bay are noted bird-watching locations and Manston War Museum is ten minutes drive away. There are lovely walks along the cliff-tops and a wealth of historical interest in the area.
