抵达之后

Trains along the coast

Southeastern's high-speed trains link Canterbury, Whitstable, Margate, Broadstairs, Deal and Dover, so most trips between the towns in this guide need no car. Check National Rail Enquiries for the route and any change of train.

公交车

Stagecoach runs most local buses. In Thanet, Visit Thanet says the Loop bus links Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate up to every 8 to 10 minutes, seven days a week, and route 8 runs to Canterbury.

步行与骑行

Visit Thanet describes the Viking Coastal Trail, a 32-mile route for walkers and cyclists that joins Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate along the coast. The town centres in this guide are all compact enough to explore on foot.

Driving and parking

Canterbury's three Park and Ride sites save driving into the walled centre. Visit Thanet lists free Saturday parking at named car parks in Margate, Cliftonville, Broadstairs and Ramsgate: check the council before you rely on it.
