Broadstairs is a charming seaside town on the Isle of Thanet, nestled between Margate and Ramsgate along the Kent coast. It's got that old-school British seaside feel but with a touch of modern creativity thrown in. With its sandy bays, chalky cliffs and a lively little town centre full of independent spots, it draws families, holidaymakers and day-trippers looking for a laid-back escape by the sea.

The town's history goes back centuries, with its name coming from the broad steps once carved into the cliffs, leading to a small shrine. It flourished during the 19th century, particularly when Charles Dickens fell in love with the place. He often stayed at Bleak House, perched on the clifftop, which inspired some of his writing. Its role as a retreat for the Victorian middle classes helped shape the town we see today, full of grand houses and tucked-away lanes.

There's no shortage of things to do in Broadstairs. Viking Bay is the star of the show—golden sands and a curved promenade make it perfect for paddling, strolling or watching the boats drift by. There are plenty of places to eat, whether it's fish and chips on the beach or a nice café with sea views. You've got the Dickens House Museum, a quaint little cinema, independent shops, and a bandstand that hosts regular music events in the summer.

If you're out and about exploring Kent, you've got loads of options. Margate's Turner Contemporary is just up the road, and Ramsgate's royal harbour has its own unique appeal. Canterbury's cathedral and cobbled streets are always worth the trip. For countryside fans, Kent's villages and gardens—like Goodnestone or Sissinghurst—are only a short drive away and full of character.

Getting to Broadstairs is straightforward. Trains from London St Pancras run regularly and take around an hour and a half, so it's a popular weekend escape. The A299 connects it to the rest of Kent, and there are frequent buses between Thanet's coastal towns. The nearest airport is London Southend, just across the Thames Estuary, though Gatwick and Heathrow are reachable too with a bit more travel time.

Kent is often called the Garden of England, and you can see why when you explore the countryside. It's packed with orchards, rolling fields and historic houses. From quiet villages to bustling seaside towns, there's a great mix of things to do. And with so many good transport links, it's just as handy for city-goers as it is for those looking for a slower pace of life.
