Ramsgate Holidays

With low-cost UK holidays more cool than ever before, why not consider holiday lodges, holiday parks or holiday cottages in the Ramsgate area? Kent is the UK's best-kept holiday secret, with its miles of golden sand, good weather, and array of visitor attractions, like castles, gardens and stately homes. Take your UK family holidays in coastal Ramsgate and you can explore the marina and enjoy its range of working, historic and pleasure vessels. Moving along the promenade, you'll see Ramsgate's fabulous beach, complete with bouncy castles, deckchairs and everything else that makes Ramsgate so typical of great holidays in the UK.

Leave your Kent holiday lodge, holiday park or holiday cottage and explore Ramsgate marina. You'll discover the Mary of Colchester – the oldest vessel here. She has been fully rebuilt at least twice since her original launch in 1844. The last Lute Sterned East Kent sailing smack still in use, she was originally used as a fishing boat and crewed by two or three men and a boy. Also not to be missed on low-cost UK holidays in Ramsgate is the Hugin, the replica Viking ship sailed from Denmark in 1949, 1500 years after two Saxon chieftains beached at nearby Ebbsfleet. After hearing all about the Vikings, why not invade the Ramsgate Maritime Museum next? Find out all about maritime heritage in Kent, through exhibitions about shipwrecks, harbour history, navigation, fishing and lifeboats.
