Welcome to North Foreland

North Foreland is a headland located on the eastern coast of Kent, England. It is situated between the towns of Broadstairs and Margate and is known for its stunning views of the English Channel. The area is popular with tourists and locals alike, who come to enjoy the beautiful scenery and explore the many attractions in the area.

One of the main attractions at North Foreland is the lighthouse, which has been in operation since 1691. The lighthouse is open to the public and visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding area. There is also a museum on site, which tells the history of the lighthouse and its importance in keeping ships safe along the coast.

In addition to the lighthouse, North Foreland is also home to a number of beautiful beaches, including Joss Bay and Botany Bay. These beaches are popular with families and surfers, who come to enjoy the clear waters and sandy shores. There are also a number of coastal walks in the area, which offer stunning views of the cliffs and sea. Overall, North Foreland is a beautiful and historic area that is well worth a visit for anyone exploring the Kent coast.
