Birchington-on-Sea is a village in north east Kent, England, with a population of around 10,000. It is part of the Thanet district and forms part of the civil parish of Birchington. It lies on the coast facing the North Sea, east of the Thames Estuary, between the seaside resorts of Herne Bay and Margate. As a seaside resort, the village is a tourist and retirement destination. The village's Minnis Bay is a family beach with attractions such as sailing, windsurfing, a paddling pool and coastal walking routes. Its three smaller beaches are surrounded by chalk cliffs, cliff stacks and caves.
The village was first recorded in 1240. Its parish church, All Saints', dates to the 13th century and its churchyard is the burial place of the 19th century Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Quex Park, a local 19th century manor house, is home to the Powell-Cotton Museum and a twelve bell tower built for change ringing. The museum contains a large collection of stuffed exotic animals collected by Major Percy Powell-Cotton on his travels in Africa, and also houses artefacts unearthed in and around Birchington by his daughter, Antoinette Powell-Cotton, a keen archaeologist.
Birchington was first recorded in 1240 as Birchenton, a name derived from the Old English words 'bircen tun', meaning a farm where birch trees grow. Birchington-on-Sea is located in northeast Kent, on the coast of the Thames Estuary. The village is 14 kilometres (9 mi) to the east of Herne Bay and 6 kilometres (4 mi) to the west of Margate. The small town of Westgate-on-Sea lies between Birchington and Margate.
Minnis Bay is a popular family beach with attractions such as sailing, windsurfing, cafes, beach huts, public houses, restaurants, a paddling pool and coastal walking/cycling routes. The beach has gained a European Blue Flag Award for its cleanliness and safety. The village has three other smaller beaches, which are surrounded by chalk cliffs and cliff stacks. Wildlife that can be observed in the Thames Estuary includes seals, velvet swimming crabs and the migrant turnstone.
Paintings by local artists are displayed at the David Burley Gallery in Birchington Library. Community activities take place at the Birchington Village Centre, including adult education classes, drama productions by the Birchington Guild of Players and concerts by the Birchington Silver Band. In 1989, Birchington-on-Sea was twinned with the town of La Chapelle d'Armentieres, near Lille in northern France; Birchington Twinning Association arranges events between the two communities, such as school trips, concerts and war remembrance services. Since 1932, Birchington has held a street carnival each summer.

Birchington, top to bottom
Got a new basic mount for my HD video comera and was going out for a singletons lunch on Valentine's day with a couple of friends. I live at one end of the village and decided to record the trip down to the sea front. The long stop at the junction was to wait for my friends in there car as they didn't really know what way they should go.
Please excuse the poor sound but my Smartie has a rather loud exhaust note and the cameras mic is a bit pony.
Not uploaded in HD coz I couldn't be arsed to wait several hours for the upload.

Minnis Bay Birchington
Price range �575,000 to �625,000. This is an exceptionally fine detached four bedroom family home with a spacious and luxuriously appointed interior following extensive refurbishment. The present owners acquired the house in 2006 and immediately remodelled the interior to a high standard using quality materials extending the ground floor with superb sun lounge and building a summer house studio in the secluded landscaped rear garden.
This superbly appointed home enjoys an equally desirable location. Without doubt this is one of the most enviable positions in the locality situated at the far end of a gated private road adjacent to farmland with uninterrupted panoramic views across the sea at Minnis Bay.
