Broadstairs

[Kev B]

While we were down in Thanet at the GUKPT last weekend we took a drive into Broadstairs. Parked up and followed a path to the front and came across "Bleak House" Charles Dickens' holiday retreat. Didn't even know it was there. Broadstairs turned out to be a quaint little seaside town complete with beach front huts, wooden Lifeboat house. It was so warm for 18th October we had lunch outside overlooking the beach. There was even people in swimwear on the beach.

Here's a few photo's.

sigh, nevermind.

looks like you made the right call going there rather than margate or ramsgate.

I've not been to broadstairs since I was at school but remember it having the feel of an olde worlde fishing port
