Viking Trail

As described above, the route takes us through coastal towns of Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Margate, Herne Bay, Whitstable. And all those inbetween - Minnis Bay, Botany Bay, Viking Bay. Inland, we ride through picturesque villages of St Nicholas at Wade, Monkton and Minster. The refreshment stop will be in Ramsgate Harbour where there is a choice of places to eat.

It is planned for the first half of the ride to be via the countryside villages as mentioned above, and the second half of the ride to be on the coast, but this is dependent on the wind direction on the day. However, all the coastal towns have train stations, and should you feel that you have had enough, have mechanical issues, need to get home earlier than expected etc, there is the option to get a from from Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Margate, Westgate-on-Sea, Birchington and Herne Bay.
