Today I am back on the Kent coast at one of my favourite British seaside towns in the UK - Margate!
Join me on this 4K walking tour around the old town, the spooky caves and along the seafront to see exactly why Time Out named Margate as one of the top places to visit in 2023.
From the old-school seafront arcades to the hipster indoor markets and coffee shops, there really is something for everyone here.
My name is Jack and I’m exploring the UK, making travel vlogs as I go. I’d be so grateful for your support, so please do like the video, leave a comment and subscribe to my channel here - youtube.com/@jackryanmiller?s...

This is where my mother grew up in the 1940s. Her father managed 1 of the hotels. She would bring me here in the 1980s to explore as a child. A lot of great memories. I remember that arcade!! Thank you for uploading 😀

I bloody love Margate, we just stayed at a place this weekend at fort crescent (where the building was that you couldn’t reach) Margate will be on a par with Brighton in the next few years I tell ya, clean sandy beach, cool boutiques, lovely restaurants and cafes including gb pizza, dreamland and who could forget the crab museum 🤘🏻

I grew up in Margate but left when I was 21 way back in 1976! It was a great place to grow up in, but during the 80/90s it became a decayed seaside town, like many at that time with the arrival of cheap package holidays to Spain. I see that High St still has loads of boarded up shops. Nice to see the harbour area gentrified now. Do try visiting Whitstable on the Kent coast, that's a little gem of a town!

Thanks so much for your comment, it’s great to hear from someone who grew up there, I would’ve loved to see it in the 70s! I’m going back in a few weeks to do a separate video on Dreamland, which again is refurbished now but was basically derelict for over 10 years! Whitstable is definitely on my list of places to visit next! Thanks again

Love your videos and love the great British seaside resorts. When the weather is hot id rather be in the uk than abroad anyday !!!! Please do visit the top ten most popular seaside resort in the uk... 1.Blackpool 2.Brighton 3.Bournemouth 4.Newquay 5.Great Yarmouth 6. St Ives 7.Torquay 8.Scarborough 9. Weymouth 10. Southend on sea Would be interesting to give YOUR opinion on which of these resorts were your best and why and which ones were not and why ? What you reckon? Might be good for next year as its worth doing during the high season when the Weather is good. ??

Got to love English seaside towns, always a great place to be but always quite a bit shit and run down. I went a couple of years ago with Justin and a few others on a very busy day, the beach was great, also the little gentrified bit where we all had pizza. I think the big derelict closed off bit was a Lido or something? It's funny, people will complain about somewhere being run down, but then complain about things being done up and 'gentrified' like, which do you want? Boarded up and closed or open and charging £3.00 for a bottle of water

Surely depends what you look at? Yes it’s got derelict buildings, but also 22 miles of golden sands surrounding it, Viking trails, plenty of nice green spaces….i did 10 years in London, 10 in Milan and Thanet is nicer than both. And don’t give me oh Milan is lovely…. It’s ok for a weekend break that’s about it

Was born margate and use to be nice but like most places over yrs alot has changed. It is very depressing & has caused me to suffer with depression, seeing people in small groups drinking alcohol near Sheldons pub & same up by church in Cliftonville. Seeing lot more rubbish on streets as well, people throwing out furniture pieces where ever they are able to. Just not safe place anymore, well I myself didn't feel safe. 5:07 But the beach I do miss as moved away 3 yrs ago as well. as visiting tudor house & caves. The old town is nice to, but i would never return.

If you want to get depressed, like the sight of fat women smoking and covered in tattoos, the stench of seaweed and body odour (and weed) then this is the place. An art gallery *Turner centre) where even the staff are bored and town all day, over-priced fish and chips, seagulls picking shit out the bins everywhere and men with no hair and beer guts splayed out of the pubs. A right royal khaze.

You forgot to mention the possibility of tidal flooding if you buy property there near the seafront. Whilst it’s nice in summer it must be dreary in wintertime when storms hit. Although plenty of Londoners moving there, buying up properties and renting spare rooms out on Airbnb. Thanet council is reclaiming a lot of Victorian housing in Cliftonville from houses with multiple occupants, hoping new buyers can turn them into family homes. I bet home insurance for a house overlooking the seafront must cost a bit, with some housing uninsurable due to flooding caused by tides and sewage. I like Margate and would like living there if none of those problems, alongside antisocial behaviour at night existed.
