The Granville Marina

The Granville Marina, located in Ramsgate, Kent, is a historic street that dates back to 1877, originally featuring a charming array of shops, tea rooms, and residences designed in the Old English style. This picturesque promenade was part of the Granville Hotel complex, envisioned by architect J T Wimperis and constructed by Paramor and Son. The Marina is notable for its unique zig-zag roadway carved into the chalk cliffs, providing stunning views and access between the Upper East Cliff and the beach below. Although many original structures have been repurposed into private flats, the Marina remains a delightful attraction, showcasing the transformation of the cliffs into a beautiful garden space with quaint architecture. Visitors can explore the remnants of its rich history, including the Grade II listed buildings, and appreciate the engineering feats that shaped this scenic coastal area.
