Geocache Description:


The development of the Eastcliff area of Ramsgate began in the late 18th century. The first mention of these gardens is in 1822, and they were opened to the public in 1840. The gardens are surrounded by a rockery (including a waterfall) installed after 1894 and made of Pulhamite - an artificial stone made of sand, cement, rubble and broken brick. Examples can be found across the UK, but Ramsgate seafront is a particularly prominent site for its use as a decorative building material. The building of the Pulhamite roadway (Madeira Walk) was part of a major reimagining of Ramsgate – from fishing town to tourist destination that gained pace by the latter decades of the 19th century.

 

The cache is hidden below the gardens. Access from Madeira Walk (not Albion Hill).
