We can now visit RAMSGATE which Peter has very kindly added with information and pictures which you will find at the top of "Page 2"

From Ramsgate we move on around the coast a little further to WHITSTABLE, famous for its oysters!! There are several attractions listed for Whitstable but very few pictures unfortunately.  Whitstable Castle, weather-boarded fishermans cottages, Witstable museum and gallery, Druidstone Wildlife Park, Westgate Tower Museum, Dolphin Yard Sailing Barge Museum, nearby Tankerton Beach for shell and fossil collecting, Margate Caves, Howells Wild Animal Park.  Recommended trips along the Swale Estuary
