Margit

A favorite place of the poet T.S.Eliota. Stay on the golden sands of Margate is impossible to compare with anything. Of course, with the 20-ies, when Eliot visited the coastal city, it has changed significantly. What has not changed, so is the atmosphere.

He has a magical way to combine a cool sea breeze with a dark feeling, obtained mainly from Victorian architecture, but also often on cloudy sky.

The city is located on the northern coast of the island of Thanet. The population is 58465 people (2001).

Margaret was founded in 1254 under the name Meregate, in 1293 renamed Margaret. Sea port. Well preserved city center with monuments of Victorian architecture.
Of great interest is the underground Grotto shells (Shell Grotto), discovered in 1835.

The main source of income of citizens is a tourist service.
