Thanet is a local government district of Kent, England which was formed under the Local Government Act 1972, and came into being on 1 April 1974. It occupies the area known as the "Isle of Thanet" and is governed by Thanet District Council. The main towns in the district are Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs.

The district is located on the north eastern tip of Kent, and is predominantly coastal, with north, east and south facing coastline. The district is bordered by the City of Canterbury district to the west, and the Dover district to the south.

Morning,
Thanks all.
Was just a little confused as I couldnt find it on the atlas and didnt sound local to where the whole line of the tree came from - I guess he moved there for love. :-)
Thanks again.
