2025 Birchington Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#myfavoriteroute 🚆🚴♀️ Our go-to coastal cycling day trip: train to Ramsgate, then bike back along the Viking Trail! You'll hit vibrant Margate, the dramatic cliffs of Kingsgate Bay, historic Reculver towers, and end in the foodie haven of Whitstable. Easy train access, epic views, and great pit stops – this trail is a winner every time. We have done it multiple times over the past 5 years and we love it every single time! #LondonDayTrip #CyclingKent #VikingCoastalTrail #ExploreUK #EcoTravel

#myfavoriteroute 🏖️ Pedals, sea breeze, and ice cream stops – that’s how we roll on the Viking Coastal Trail! London to Ramsgate by train and back from Herne Bay to London on the train. Starting in Ramsgate, we weave through charming spots like Margate, Kingsgate Bay, and Reculver before rolling into Whitstable for oysters and seaside views. A perfect escape from London and one of our most cherished day trips. #VikingTrailAdventure #KentCoastByBike #CyclingCouple #UKGetaway #BeachLifeUK
