Thanet's Background

Come on a country break to the Isle of Thanet - the birthplace of English civilisation - and journey through time as well as peaceful beauty.

From the ruins of the Roman fort of Reculver in the west to the ancient Cinque Port of Sandwich in the east, you will encounter heritage that is amongst the most important in England. Whether your interests are history, geology, architecture, culture - or complete escape and new experiences - you will find them here.

So get away for a short break full of fresh air and enriching discovery, in town, village and countryside. We've put together ideas for itineraries to suit everyone, from families to adrenaline daredevils or the romantically inclined. Meet our very own Rock Doc to learn more about the mysteries of our special landscape and take a dip into our scrumptious natural pantry for a taste of what's in store when you visit.

We look forward to welcoming you!
