Ramsgate Tunnels
The Ramsgate Tunnels, in the seaside town of Ramsgate in Thanet, east Kent, have been transformed from a derelict railway line and bomb shelter into an exhibition space, café and tourist attraction through the hard work of volunteers.
The only Royal Harbour in the United Kingdom, in 2017 Ramsgate was named one of the first ten Heritage Action Zones in England and the first in the South East.
It’s rich in heritage with over 450 listed places including 443 listed buildings, one scheduled monument, one registered park and a number of shipwrecks off the coast. The construction of Ramsgate Harbour began in 1749 and was completed around 1850.
