Ramsgate Halal Travel Guide

Ramsgate forms part of the Isle of Thanet and is closely associated with its neighbouring towns of Broadstairs and Margate. The town's heyday was the Regency and Victorian eras when the well-heeled would holiday in the town, savouring its genteel culture. Nowadays the town remains a popular destination and has much to offer visitors.

Ramsgate exists in an area that has been crucial to British history. Just down the road at Richborough is the site of the Claudian Invasion of 43AD and evidence of Roman settlement in Ramsgate was found as recently as the nineteenth century. Viking chieftains Hengist and Horsa landed at Ebbsfleet in Pegwell Bay in 449AD and were given the Isle of Thanet by Vortigern as thanks for their help in the first stages of the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain. In 597AD, Street Augustine landed at Ebbsfleet on his mission to convert Britain to Christianity and later became the first Archbishop of Canterbury.

In 1483, Ramsgate was adopted as a limb of Sandwich and by association, a member of the Cinque Ports Confederation. Ramsgate developed as a result of growing trade and prosperity in the 17th century. Throughout the 18th century many elegant Georgian townhouses, Nelson and Wellington Crescents on the east and west cliffs, and many small squares were built. Ramsgate was a fashionable place to stay in Regency times and became the haunt of many writers, artists and philanthropists.

A harbour was built in the town was as a result of the 1703 Great Storm. It wasn't until King George IV used the town as his departure point for a trip to Hanover in 1821 that the 'Royal' title was bestowed, after the King became so impressed by his welcome to the town. During the Napoleonic Wars, Ramsgate was a garrison town with thousands of troops going back and forth to various battles. In both the world wars, Ramsgate was one of the first places in Britain to be bombed by the Germans. During the 1940 Dunkirk Evacuation and the town acted as the central port for the rescue of the troops from France.

Ramsgate's harbour is still a working one with the advent of the Thanet Wind Farm. It still has a small fishing community, busy slipways and a port offering cross-channel ferry routes to the continent. Ramsgate's heyday has long since passed, in common with many seaside towns, but it has a rich history, stunning views and architecture, and a vibrant cafe culture that surprises many who visit the town.

Travel as a Muslim to Ramsgate

Muslim Friendly Rail Holidays in Ramsgate

Ramsgate Railway Station - Ramsgate station Ramsgate station GPS 51.3408,1.406 is a new classical-style station built by Edwin Fry between 1924 and 1926 and the building is now Grade-II listed.

Normal train services leave London Victoria (2-3 per hour) and London Charing Cross (1-2 per hour) and depending on which service you catch trains will run along the North Kent mainline (through the Medway towns, Faversham and Herne Bay) or the Weald mainline (through Paddock Wood and Ashford (Kent) | Ashford International).

Both routes will take around 2-2½ hours to reach Ramsgate. While there are occasional direct services, on the North Kent mainline most services comprise an 8-carriage train and separate at Faversham to form two distinct services, one of which travels on a branch line down to Canterbury (England) | Canterbury and Dover (England) | Dover. Likewise, 8- and 12-carriage trains separate at Ashford International and most visitors to Ramsgate choose the Canterbury West route. If you find yourself on the longer coastal Dover route (usually marked as terminating at Sandwich but the trains always run into Ramsgate anyway) you will still eventually arrive in Ramsgate, unless the train is marked as terminating at Dover. In both mainline cases, make sure you are travelling in the correct part of the train.

High-speed train

For an easier but slightly more expensive option, a twice-hourly high speed service runs from London Street Pancras International direct to Ramsgate (journey time of 1hr 20min).

By coach

National Express coaches run from Victoria Coach Station and are typically somewhat cheaper than the railway. However and the journey time is around 3 hours since there is no direct non-stop coach service to Thanet. Services terminate in the Harbour. National Express tickets can be purchased online, or from Toni's Newsagents in King Street.

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Ramsgate

The nearest major international airports are at London Gatwick (IATA Flight Code: LGW) (approx 84 mi/135 kilometers) and London Heathrow Airport (IATA Flight Code: LHR) (approx 104 mi/168 kilometers).

How to get around in Ramsgate

Travel on a Bus in Ramsgate

Regular buses run by Stagecoach offer easy access to most parts of the Isle of Thanet. The Thanet Loop service (on average every 10 minutes from Ramsgate Harbour) is the most reliable and its route takes in the harbour and the train station, Westwood Shopping Centre and the other towns of Thanet. The Thanet Star service visits the more suburban parts of Ramsgate and Thanet. Regular buses serve the city of Canterbury (services 8 and 9), but the Thanet Breeze service to and from Canterbury does not extend to Ramsgate - it only goes as far as Broadstairs. Alternatively and the independent bus company Eastonways offers extra services and routes across Thanet and out to Minster, Monkton and Birchington. Eastonways is popular with shoppers as it also runs regular services out to Asda and and/tesco/ Tesco supermarkets, near Westwood Shopping Centre. Most Eastonways services in central Ramsgate leave from outside Toni's Newsagents in King Street.

What to see in Ramsgate

  • The Royal Harbour - The town of Ramsgate has the only designated Royal Harbour in the whole of the United Kingdom. The harbour dates back to the 18th century and was given its royal status by King George IV in 1821 when he received a rapturous reception by the townspeople after he chose the port as his point of departure and return for a trip to his native Hanover with the Royal Yacht Squadron. An obelisk commemorating the King's trip stands near the Maritime Museum. The construction of the harbour began in 1749 and was completed in 1850 after several different stages of development. Some aspects of the harbour were the work of John Shaw and his son, John Shaw Jnr, most prominent among these being the lighthouse on the western harbour arm. The harbour was an important embarkation point during the Napoleonic Wars and played a vital role during the 1940 Dunkirk Evacuations: it was from here and Dover that many of the "Little Ships" plied their way across the English Channel to help rescue the stranded Allied forces from the beaches at Dunkirk in the face of the oncoming Nazi hordes; in the harbour stands a memorial to the event and moored at the nearby George IV memorial pontoon is the MY Sundowner, one of the "Little Ships" that was once owned by the 2nd Officer of the Titanic, Charles Lightoller. Today and the harbour has one of the most vibrant yacting marinas on the south coast and, thanks to the nearby offshore Thanet Wind Farm, remains a working harbour. An extension to the harbour allows cross-channel ferries to berth at Ramsgate and LD Lines (cars only) TransEuropa Ferries (predominantly freight) run services to Oostende in Belgium.
  • The Maritime Museum - 51.3315, 1.4224 - Ramsgate Maritime Museum Ramsgate Maritime Museum - Q7290267 - Dominant over much of the harbour is the characteristic Maritime Museum. Built in 1817 by Benjamin Wyatt and George Louch and the building was built as the harbour clock house. In the 1980s, it was turned into the town's maritime museum, containing four galleries examining the maritime history of the local area as well as describing the development of the eponymous harbour. Also featured are many artefacts from the various shipwrecks of the treacherous Goodwin Sands. The building is also the site of the unique Ramsgate Meridian, where the town's own Mean Time was calculated as being 5 minutes and 41 seconds ahead of Greenwich.
  • The Smeaton Dry Dock Another point of interest around the harbour is the Smeaton Dry Dock. A pioneer of civil engineering, John Smeaton was asked to design a dry dock for the harbour and work started in the mid-1780s. The building of the dock was to be Smeaton's last project; he was to die in the post of Ramsgate Harbour engineer.

Empire tugs were the British equivalent of the American Liberty Ships and were built for specific purposes; "Cervia" was built for the Normandy Invasion in 1944 to an 'invasion design' but she was not completed until after the Second World War and never saw active service. Her features include an armoured wheelhouse and gun emplacements.

You can now explore the tunnels and experience how people sheltered and lived in the town below the town. Tours last about an hour, and operate from Wednesday to Sunday every week.
  • Van Gogh, Elizabeth Fry and Karl Marx - Ramsgate is an historic Regency town and is full of streets of 18th century townhouses.

He lived across the road at 11 Spencer Plaza whilst he was teaching and he took to sketching the view he had, taking in the harbour and the building that now houses the Churchill Tavern. 19th-century social reformer Elizabeth Fry lived in Bellevue Road for many years and would visit the prison ships passing in the channel on their way to Australia.
