The Margate GeoTour was created by a group of people living locally, who were interested in exploring their relationship to the coastal town through poetry, history, music and conversation. The recordings you will hear at each point in the tour were taken outside, at home and online.
This geocache is one of many that form part of the world’s first Art GeoTour: England's Creative Coast (GT4A5). Within each uniquely created geocache, you will be able to hear about and see local hidden histories and hear stories, music and poetry, retold by local people based on their amazing coastal towns.
