About

Viking ward lies along the northeast coast of the Thanet district. Its boundaries include the suburbs of Westgate-on-Sea and Birchington, stretching inland to encompass surrounding farmland and the village of Acol. The area features a mix of residential streets, coastal landscapes, and agricultural fields, with the main railway line to London running through it.

The ward's name directly references the area's deep historical connections to Norse settlers. Evidence of this past is embedded in the local geography, with several roads and a primary school named after Viking figures or gods. The terrain includes chalk cliffs and the sweeping curve of West Bay, which provides a long stretch of sandy beach popular for walking.
