Royal Victoria Pavilion
This Grade II listed building (formerly a dilapidated pavilion) is a stunning example of coastal architecture and was among the most endangered Victorian and Edwardian structures in the country. Built as a concert hall and assembly space, it was designed by architect Stanley Davenport Adshead. Its style was inspired by an orangery designed by Robert Adam. The interior is said to have been inspired by the Small Theatre at Versailles and was simplified in the 1930s. After being used as a nightclub and later as a casino, it closed its doors in 2008.

Embark on a moderate coastal hike along the King Charles III England Coast Path from Ramsgate to Broadstairs. This 4.9-mile (7.8 km) route takes about 2 hours to complete, with a gentle elevation gain of 116 feet (35 metres). You will experience diverse scenery, starting from Ramsgate's Royal Harbour and its lively marina. The path offers dramatic sea views, guiding you past striking white cliffs and chalk formations. You can choose to walk along the sea wall, sandy beaches at low tide, or the cliff-top paths, eventually arriving at the well-known Viking Bay in Broadstairs.
Before you set out, be aware that certain sections of the path along the sandy beaches become impassable during high tide. It is advisable to check tide times if you plan to walk these lower routes. The trail is generally accessible, and you will find convenient amenities such as cafes and public toilets available in both Ramsgate and Broadstairs, making it easy to plan your breaks.
This segment of the King Charles III England Coast Path highlights the unique geology of the Kent coastline, showcasing its distinctive white cliffs and chalk rocks.
