Thanet is a local government district in Kent, at the north-eastern corner of the county. It includes the seaside towns of Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs. At one time ships could sail through the Wantsum channel separating the Isle of Thanet but this has silted up, and Thanet is no longer an island.
