Margate Wastewater Pumping Station

Highlight • Structure

This might 'just' be your typical wastewater pumping station. But it also serves as an ugly yet welcome landmark to loop your runs and rides or maybe just carry on a little further to the next bay of many pretty bays. In the marvellous Thanet sunsets it can, sometimes, look not half bad.

We've eaten there a few times and it's always been good, although the service could be a bit more efficient 😉

Neptune Tower

Highlight • Monument

From the pre-Christian world of antiquity, in addition to the Celtic legends in Europe, mainly the Roman and Greek ones with their numerous deities have been preserved in the collective memory. The namesake for this low tower built on the coast, "NEPTUN", referred to the god of the sea in Roman legends, and POSEIDON corresponded to him in Greek mythology. In art, i.e. in paintings or as statues, both are usually depicted with a trident, which is, so to speak, their common trademark.
