This weekend marked the opening of the Turner Contemporary on the sea front at Margate reports our Kent Host. The building sits on the site of a long-demolished house in which JMW Turner once lodged and painted, taking advantage of the stunning quality of light on this part of the North Kent coast of England. The exhibition space is filled with works from a diversity of artists and houses temporary exhibitions rather than a permanent collection. It adds to the wealth of dramatic landscapes and maritime history that already feature on our Kent Coast bike tour. This is easy riding with high rewards at its best.
