Margate is a seaside town in the district of Thanet in Kent, England. It lies 38.1 miles east-north-east of Maidstone, on the coast along the North Foreland and contains the areas of Cliftonville, Garlinge, Palm Bay and Westbrook.
For at least 250 years, Margate has been a leading seaside resort in the UK, drawing Londoners to its beaches, Margate Sands. The bathing machines in use at Margate were described in 1805 as four-wheeled carriages, covered with canvas, and having at one end of them an umbrella of the same materials which is let down to the surface of the water, so that the bather descending from the machine by a few steps is concealed from the public view, whereby the most refined female is enabled to enjoy the advantages of the sea with the strictest delicacy.
The Dreamland Amusement Park (featured in The Jolly Boys' Outing extended episode of the television series Only Fools and Horses) is situated in the centre of Margate. It reopened in 2015, having been closed since 2006 following a lengthy campaign by the group Save Dreamland Campaign. The Scenic Railway roller coaster at Dreamland, which opened in 1920, is Grade II* Listed and the second oldest in the world, was severely damaged in a fire on 7 April 2008 but has now been fully restored and reopened to the public in October 2015. Today the Dreamland roller coaster is one of only two early-20th century scenic railways still remaining in the UK; the only other surviving UK scenic railway is in Great Yarmouth and was built in 1932. The Margate roller coaster is an ACE Coaster Classic. Cliftonville, next to Margate, has a classic British Arnold Palmer seaside mini golf course.
There are two notable theatres, the Theatre Royal in Addington Street – the second oldest theatre in the country – and the Tom Thumb Theatre, the second smallest in the country, in addition to the Winter Gardens. The Theatre Royal was built in 1787, burned down in 1829 and was remodelled in 1879 giving Margate more national publicity. The exterior is largely from the 19th century.[15] From 1885 to 1899 actor-manager Sarah Thorne ran a school for acting at the Theatre Royal which is widely regarded as Britain's first formal drama school. Actors who received their initial theatrical training there include Harley Granville-Barker, Evelyn Millard, Louis Calvert, George Thorne, Janet Achurch, Adelaide Neilson and Irene and Violet Vanbrugh, among others. An annual jazz festival takes place on a weekend in June.
Margate Museum in Market Place explores the town's seaside heritage in a range of exhibits and displays, and is now opened at weekends by a team of volunteers. First discovered in 1798, the Margate Caves (also known as the Vortigern Caves) are situated at the bottom of Northdown Road. They are currently closed to the public.
The Shell Grotto, which has walls and roof covered in elaborate decorations of over four million shells covering 2,000 square feet (190 m2) in complex patterns, was rediscovered in 1835, but is of unknown age and origin. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building. There is a 16th-century 2-storey timber-framed Tudor house built on a flint plinth in King Street. Margate's Jubilee Clock Tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, although not completed until 1889. It had a Time Ball mechanism, mounted on a mast atop the tower, which was raised a few minutes before 1pm each day and dropped at precisely 1pm, thereby allowing residents, visitors and ships to know the exact time. This was, of course, in the days before wireless transmission of time signals.

Hartest, West Suffolk
Hartest lies in West Suffolk, in an area known as `High Suffolk` at the north-western extremity of Babergh district, on the B1066 and midway between Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury. Hartest Hill is said to be the steepest hill in Suffolk and anyone who has walked, run or cycled up it would certainly agree. The larger villages of Glemsford, Lavenham and Long Melford are all within a six mile radius. The adjoining hamlets of Boxted and Somerton are closely linked with Hartest. A small river flows through Hartest from its source in Somerton.
The Green is at the heart of the village. Close to the Green are the medieval parish church of All Saints, the primary school, the Hartest and Boxted Institute, the doctors' surgery and the Crown public house. A butcher's shop and the village garage also face the Green.
Benefits of Buying a Touring Caravan and the Impact of Brexit

Top 5 Reasons To Buy A Touring Caravan and the Impact of Brexit
Having undertaken some research on why to buy a touring caravan we stumbled across an article by Old Hall Caravan Park (Lancashire) who themselves did some digging and focused upon the health benefits of Caravanning. This is one of a series of articles they have posted and the link to the health benefits of caravanning is below:
After reading the above I also came across some stats relating to the ever growing popularity of caravanning which feature in the vlog.
These stats came from a BBC article within which we can also find one of our favorite You Tubers the Trudgians and also a link included to the NCC website, links to which are below; :
The above BBC article also mentions Brexit, and this was the first time we had considered what impact brexit would have on white box owners across the UK. And also what impact it would have on British people seeking to jet away to sunnier climbs.
In all of this research we here at Caravannery settled on what we felt were the core benefits of caravanning with a distinct lean towards touring; well we are touring caravanners after all:
Good for your health - encourages you to get away - be outdoors - walk the dog or the kids/cycling etc. Plus you tend to get out and about more and explore. This helps in reducing stress.
Unlock your hidden explorer - owning a touring caravan allows you to get a map out and decide where you want to go - whenever you want - conquer mountains, find your new favorite pub, make new memories.
Live Longer - mentioned in our very first vlog that Caravanning helps you live longer. This is achieved by adding memories and more waymarks to your life to look back on, helping you to add to your time striving to fill the unforgiving hours.
Brexit and Travelling - BBC Report Outlined that Caravanning on the rise in popularity - just under 10% last year including tourers, statics and motorhomes. With the media lapping up the spin on Brexit, we consider the impact on UK travel which all leads to a boom in UK vacations (at least in the short term) which will undoubtedly positively impact on the sales of caravans; an already growing market. The Telegraphs article makes for some interesting reading:
Quality Time – the undisputed champion of reasons to buy a caravan is quality time. This struck me whenever we go away, typified by one of our favorite channels Make Way With The Morleys. They also discuss why buy a touring caravan: In a recent video - they outline a trip to France and watching the fun and interaction the family has together sums up what Caravanning is all about. We also consider how caravanning supports people in being better at spending quality time together – simply because caravanners to it more often.
We hope you enjoyed the video and if you want to see more please do subscribe.
Thanks for watching and make the most of your time.
