One of Ramsgate’s strengths is its excellent infrastructure, with multiple high speed train routes from London and some very useful bus routes.
This makes Ramsgate an ideal place to use as a hub to visit the nearby places of interest (although there’s lots to see and do locally in Ramsgate too). If you’re visiting Ramsgate for a bit longer you may want to go further afield – for example to try one of the three 1 Star Michelin Restaurants within easy reach.
- The Fordwich Arms is a 20 minute train ride to Sturry and a pleasant 15 minute walk or a 5 minute taxi ride to the tiny village of Fordwich.
- The Sportsman in Seasalter is a 35 minute train ride to Whitstable and a 10 minute taxi ride to Seasalter.
- The Bridge Arms in the village of Bridge near Canterbury.
The Map below covers these restaurants and some other restaurants and cafes to try on Day Trips.
