Location
Ramsgate is situated on the southerly aspect of the Isle of Thanet and benefits the country’s only Royal Harbour, the status was granted by King George IV in 1821. Belmont House is grade II listed and was reportedly built in 1795. Through the years Belmont House has seen many distinguished visitors. The princess (later Queen) Victoria frequently stayed at Belmont House and it is believed that her pet donkey is buried on site. The distinctive and beautiful harbour has a vibrant yachting community alongside some commercial activity and was where the Little Ships evacuation of Dunkirk set out from in 1940. The town is enjoying something of a Renaissance with its large amount of Grade II Listed property, many set within elegant Regency squares, or overlooking the sea, others with links to or influenced by the architect Augustus Pugin. In recent years the Royal Harbour has seen many restaurants, cafes and bars emerge alongside quirky independent retail outlets, some utilising the arches on the quayside beneath Royal Parade. The town is steeped in history with associations to many well known figures. As well as Queen Victoria, Karl Marx, Vincent Van Gogh, Charles Darwin and many others stayed or lived in Ramsgate. There is also a fascinating network of tunnels beneath the town. The fortunes of Ramsgate have been hugely assisted by the high speed rail link to London St Pancras making a commute for many a viable option. Neighbouring seaside towns Broadstairs and Margate are within easy access as well as Westwood Cross shopping centre with its variety of shopping, dining and entertainment facilities.
