Thanet Coastal Path

Following the Thanet Coastal Path is a unique experience following the longest continuous stretch of coastal chalk coastline in the country - and covers the extensive Blue Flag beaches and wealth of coastal and marine wildlife that is covered by the international designation of the North East Kent European marine site.

 

This route was set up during the 1990s as a great way of walking and with interpretation of the natural history of the coastline - and there are 15 interpretation panels that can still be found along the route.

 

The original leaflet has been scanned to show:

ThanetCoastalPath1A - Front/Back

ThanetCoastalPath1B - Landscape and Wildlife 

ThanetCoastalPath1C - Birchington to Broadstairs

ThanetCoastalPath1D - Broadstairs to Pegwell Bay

 

In many places, the coastal path has been upgraded as part of longer Viking Coastal Trail (27 miles) that roughly encircles the former Isle of Thanet from the coast (Reculver to Pegwell Bay), to  the inland villages of Minster, Monkton and St Nicholas-at-Wade.
