Čo vidieť v Margate

Margate Essentials

Margate combines its heritage as a traditional English seaside resort with a thriving contemporary arts scene. The town features the Turner Contemporary gallery, built on the site of J.M.W. Turner’s former lodging, and the Shell Grotto, a mysterious subterranean passage lined with millions of shells. Dreamland offers vintage fairground rides, including the Grade II* listed Scenic Railway. Creative spaces extend to the Old Town’s markets and independent venues like the Tom Thumb, one of the smallest theaters in the world.
