Kingsgate Castle
Kingsgate Castle ligger med udsigt over Kingsgate Bay. Fyrtårnet på North Foreland er akkurat synligt i højre sude af billedet.
Kingsgate Castle er et slot på klipperne over Kingsgate Bay i Broadstairs i Kent. Det blev bygget som stald for lord Holland (Henry Fox, 1. Baron Holland) fra Holland House i 1760'erne.[1] Navnet Kingsgate stammer fra Charles 2.'s landgang den 30. juni 1683 ("gate" referer til kløften mellem klipperne). Andre andre engelske monarker har brugt bugten, som George 2. i 1748. Bygningen ejedes senere af John Lubbock, 1. Baron Avebury.

Kingsgate Castle between Margate and Broadstairs in Kent, UK. The North Foreland lighthouse can be seen on the far right of the photo. Taken from near the watchtower across Kingsgate Bay at sunset, so the light wasn't brilliant.
