(population about 57,000) is a coastal resort on the English Channel in
southeast England, and includes the district of Cliftonville. It is part of the
Isle of Thanet, which, although originally separated from the mainland by the
Wantsum Channel, is now practically joined to the mainland as a result of the
build up of silt and shingle. Margate is in the local
government district of Thanet in the county of Kent, formed in
1974 by the merger of the municipal borough of Margate with of the municipal borough of Ramsgate
and adjoining areas.
