Margate - Charles Dickens Museum

From Margate a lovely path runs along the cliffs to Broadstairs (5mi/8km), where Charles Dickens wrote some of his work, including "David Copperfield" (1850), in the real Bleak House. The house is now a museum dedicated to the great man of letters, whose memory is further celebrated during the week-long Dickens Festival held every year in June. Throughout the seven days, old and young alike dress in Victorian costume and there are Victorian-style parties and balls.
