Margate a great UK weekend bargain break

Margate could be a good destination for a UK bargain break, it has been suggested.

Those who do like to be beside the seaside could consider a trip to the Kent resort. Travek writers recommend a visit to the town's "historic" centre as it is an "absolute architectural gem".

Gallery the Turner contemporary is also highlighted as a quality attraction celebrating the destination's art connections.

Other local sites of interest include Sarre Windmill – the only commercial working building of its type in the county.

When the weather lets travellers down, the Hartsdown Leisure Centre could be a great way to wile away an afternoon. It contains a 25-metre main pool and a sports centre where football and basketball can be played.

Those interested in the history of ancient residents of the town could head over the Tudor House, which dates back to the 16th century.
