Today the Confederation of the Cinque Ports is made up of seven head ports and seven limbs, from Hastings in the west to Margate in the east. Each of the 14 towns has a wealth of rich heritage and strong maritime traditions to discover. Explore narrow cobbled streets and passageways where you can see medieval houses and ancient landmarks. Visit the many museums, attractions, forts and castles that dominate the rugged coastline and re-live the days of fearsome battles at sea, smuggling and piracy.
