Viking Coastal Trail

Active and Outdoors
Landscape

The Viking Coastal Trail is one of the most attractive circular leisure cycle routes in Kent, covering 32 miles (51.4km), taking in the coast of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate before heading inland through the surrounding villages.

Family friendly cycling on level, traffic free promenades and broad sea walls, or along leisurely country lanes.

Divide the trail up into manageable sections and you’ll find a variety of fantastic days out.

Along the route of the Viking Coastal Trail there are plenty of places to stop for a rest to enjoy a drink or meal. If you are in Ramsgate look out for information on Active Ramsgate

A copy of the leaflet can be picked up from Visitor Information Centres in the area 

The route is also known as the Regional Cycle Network 15 and well signed throughout with the trail logo
