Cycle across the path where the Vikings first landed in Britain in 449AD on the Isle of Thanet, as you complete an eight mile section of the Viking Coastal Trail.

Starting from Margate Station the route goes along the seafront to Westgate-on-Sea and continues to Epple Bay and Minnis Bay. Stop off at the picturesque bays to go for a swim or enjoy a picnic lunch or continue straight on along a mixture of tarmac paths and concrete promenades to Reculver Country Park where the route ends. Take the train back to London St Pancras station or make a weekend of it and stay in a B&B.
