Quex Park is an historic country estate situated in Birchington-on-Sea on the stunning Kent coast, near Margate.

The Estate has a fascinating history that dates back to at least the 15th century. Many prominent families have lived here and developed it over the centuries, into the house and grounds you see today. Landmarks within the Park include the Waterloo Tower, built 1819, with its extremely rare secular peal of 12 bells and white iron spire, and the castellated Round Tower used to signal to ships at sea.

Over recent years the estate has developed into one of Thanet’s popular leisure and tourism destinations, with events, arts, crafts, and activities for all ages. Attractions include a Craft Village, Garden Nursery, Adventure Golf Course, Farm Shop & Restaurant, Cafés, and a calendar of seasonal events for all ages to enjoy.

There are three activity centres, Quex Adventure Farm Park, which hosts the Maize Maze in the summer, The Quex Activity Centre, and The Jungle, with the Watering Hole Café and its outdoor play area.
