Ramsgate to Broadstairs walk – Sea It All

There’s not many beautiful places to start a coastal walk than the 700 berth Royal Harbour Marina.

Suitable for young families with plenty of activities for little ones to explore and enjoy.

Samphire Hoe Stile Free trail

This walk is suitable for all ages and abilities. The walk has two distinct one-mile (1.6km) sections. One follows the sea wall along smooth concrete, while the other passes through the middle of Hoe with good paths and some steep gradients. There are a number of resting points along this section.

You may notice cattle roaming freely at the Hoe with cows, sheep and beautiful English Longhorns grazing near the entrance to Samphire Hoe at this time of year: they are a large brown & white cattle with impressive sweep of curved horns. A wonderful initiative which promotes rare breed and benefits wild flowers!

There are also 20 species of winter visitor birds at the Hoe including more than 300 Red throated diver birds which feed on mainly fish caught by diving near Samphire Hoe. If you follow the sea route you may notice that when the sea is rough, waves can also come curling over the sea wall but of course be careful when taking this route if the weather is a little turbulent!
