About

Salmestone ward is situated on the northeastern edge of Margate, primarily consisting of residential neighbourhoods. The area includes the suburb of Westbrook and stretches inland past the Canterbury Road. Housing here is a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates, and some modern developments, providing a range of accommodation. The ward's boundaries are largely defined by major roads and railway lines, creating a distinct urban segment within the larger town.

The ward's coastline features the expansive Westbrook Bay, a broad sandy beach that is generally less crowded than Margate's main sands. Inland, the Westbrook Stream flows through the area, eventually meeting the sea. A notable local landmark is the Salmestone Grange, a medieval monastic barn that stands as one of the oldest surviving structures in Thanet, surrounded by modern housing.
