Our Isle of Thanet is famous for its ‘big skies’, and that’s partly why it has been popular with artists for centuries – the most famous being J.M.W. Turner, who spent much of his time in Margate and created several of his paintings and sketches in the area.

Of course, our beautiful skies are available for everyone to enjoy, and particularly our stunning sunrises and sunsets. Here’s a selection of photographs to give you an idea!
