This is a serene coastal stroll connecting three historic seaside towns. Most of the journey is along gentle chalk cliffs, offering views over the Channel and dotted with several secluded coves. At low tide, one can traverse the beaches between the towns.

Ramsgate boasts an intriguing old town area, a harbour featuring a walkable harbour arm, a bistro at the end of it, and the grand new Victoria Pavilion.

Broadstairs, too, presents a charming old town, complemented by a sandy beach and associations with Charles Dickens.

Botany Bay is arguably the most secluded and picturesque beach - the western end, complete with sand dunes, is discretely frequented by naturists.
