Connect Broadstairs with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more survey is needed to fully connect Broadstairs to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Broadstairs’s Slow Ways.

As usual with the coastal routes: very easy to follow, very pleasant to walk. Definitely recommend this route....
ShortLegsLongWalk
There is an uneven track in the field after the cemetery, which could be a bit tricky for wheelchair users, other than that, the route is remarkably flat and smooth....
Reebs
This took me about an hour and 15 minutes and was enjoyable- particularly passing through at peters....

As noted by other reviewers, the first part of this route - between Ramsgate Beach and Dumpton Gap is on the foreshore. There is no sea wall, and this section is not possible for a couple of hours either side of high tide. You will need to go up the ramp to the clifftop path....
Andrew
Lovely walk with fantastic sea views (look out for the seal) and passing many interesting buildings linked to Charles Dickens. Plenty of cafes along the route and had a lovely ice cream in Broadstairs. A choice of routes along the beach or on the cliffs top depending on tide....
Christine Thomson
If the tide is in then you will need to take the steps up to the clifftop to King George VI Memorial Park and stay on the clifftop path to Broadstairs....
RhiEv
If you walk straight along the main path in the park you come out at the end and follow a green verge all the way to a signpost to Dumpton Gap....

I've walked a version of this 'slow way' many times, although I personally would take a slightly different route through the town to avoid certain busy junctions. Some busy roads, but nothing dangerous. Less scenic, but more direct than taking the coastal path....
