The Warwick Guest House is located just 90 minutes from London on the new high-speed trains from St Pancras and, once here, only a five-minute walk from some of the finest blue flag beaches in Kent. In striking contrast to the countys fame as the Garden of England, the Isle of Thanet which comprises the three resorts of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate and surrounding villages, has twenty-six miles of beautiful coastline and the longest stretch of coastal chalk in the UK, which is nationally and internationally important for its marine and bird life.There is quick and easy access from London by road and rail, as well as from the continent, which is closer than the county town of Maidstone. This close proximity is why the area has witnessed three great landings thought to have changed the course of the countrys history the invasion of the Romans in 43AD, the father of the English race Hengist and his Saxons in 449AD and St. Augustine in 597AD.You can explore the miles of sandy beaches where the Centurions children played marbles and where Thanetians hacked out caves in the cliff to hide contraband from the excisemen, fighting them to the death, and where you can find wild asparagus on the land and wild oysters in the sea.Ride the wind and waves on a kite surfboard, follow the Viking Coastal Trail on a bicycle or by foot, and explore the skies in a plane. Finish off with an alfresco drink at one of the bars overlooking the Royal Harbour and watch the boats bobbing gently up and down and the sun glistening on the water.Hotel Rating: Self Assessed 3 star
