Margate

Margate is a seaside town in the Isle of Thanet district in the northeast part of Kent; we are spending the weekend here after seeing Jack Savoretti perform at Dreamland this evening. Margate was a popular seaside resort in the 18th century and onwards, but has seen a decline in recent years; I was last here many, many years ago when I was a child!

After a 2 hour drive down from Cambridge, we had an explore of the town in the afternoon before checking in at the apartment; we walked along Marine Terrace and then by Margate Sands before heading up to the Old Town (visiting the quirky Crab Museum!) - see captions on photos for details.

Then it was Dreamland and the Scenic Stage Arena; both Lee Albin Meldau (the support act) and Jack Savoretti were excellent; a great day out!Читать далее
