Recently reopened, the Caves have been welcoming visitors since 1863. Originally dug as a chalk mine in the 18th century, they went largely forgotten for over 100 years before being rediscovered and restored for personal recreation and then, eventually, as a tourist attraction.
The Margate Caves finally reopened in September 2019 with a new Community Building, Café, Shop and Exhibition and Interpretation spaces which share the rich history of the Caves and explain how the landscape, ecology and geology of the area have become intwined in town’s rich social and cultural history. Excellent!
Margate caves have been a popular tourist attraction this the 1960 when it was open to the public, what is a must see
