*Celebrating 10th Anniversary in 2024 - Active Ramsgate Week Sunday 26th May - Sunday 2nd June*
If getting outdoors and keeping active is your pastime of choice, then Active Ramsgate is for you. Featuring activities such as cycling routes, walking trails, birdwatching and kayaking, there is something for everyone…
Ramsgate – not only is it the only Royal Harbour in the country, but it is a place steeped in history, natural beauty, adventure and charm, all on the Kent Coast. Visitors and residents alike can begin to discover more of the incredible surroundings of Ramsgate and places around the town on one of the seven walking trails which can be downloaded from the Visit Ramsgate website
Active Ramsgate not only features scenic walking trails, but also family-friendly cycle routes including the Pier to Pier Cycling Trail and even kayak routes, all in downloadable, easy-to-use format.
Join a new cycling experience, a partnership between Col’s Kent Bike Tours and Harbour Bikes 'The Thanet Coast Tour'. The route starts at Harbour Bikes arch, visits the iconic lighthouse, passes the former home of architect Augustus Pugin before doing a loop around the Thanet coast taking in Botany Bay.
Or how about Pickleball? One of the hottest new sports to come over from America, Ramsgate has one of the only outdoor pickleball courts in the UK.
If any of these experiences sound like your cup of tea, then a trip to Ramsgate is on the cards - and don't forget to stop off at one of the local cafes and bars based around the Harbour for a truly continental feel.
“Ramsgate’s at the Land’s End of the south-east; the getaway place with great scenery and the great outdoors. (And it’s just down the line from London.)”- Nicholas Crane, Presenter of the BBC Coast series
