Pierremont Park – a green oasis in the heart of Broadstairs

Thanet is know for the rolling coastline and golden sands but we also have some lovely parks and Pierremont Park is one of them. Sitting at the top of Broadstairs High Street, it has small areas of woodland. That open out into grassed areas, wide skies and a gentle sense of pause.

For me, Pierremont Park is a place of soft reset. A few minutes here can shift everything. The nervous system settles, watching the squirrels chase each other through the trees and the birds landing. Our attention returns to what is real.

What the landscape is like

Pierremont Park is a small, open green space with established planted areas and paths through. It has a simple, unfussy feel.

Light and seasonal shifts

Best light: early morning for clean, quiet light, and late afternoon for warmer tones and longer shadows.

In winter and shoulder seasons, Pierremont Park can feel especially spacious, with crisp air and dramatic skies. In summer, it becomes a gentle meeting place, a green pause above the bustle of the High Street.

If we are photographing at Pierremont Park, we can lean into subtlety. Wind in the trees, a silhouette against sea haze, the way the horizon steadies the whole frame.

Practical notes

Access: easy access from Broadstairs High Street, mostly level paths with gentle gradients.
Facilities: cafés, shops and toilets are nearby in Broadstairs town centre.
Parking: pay and display and on-street parking is available around Broadstairs, best to allow time in peak season.
Quiet moments: early mornings and weekdays tend to feel most spacious, especially in summer.

Why Pierremont Park matters for storytelling

Pierremont is perfect for stories that need calm and connection to green spaces. It suits founders, makers and purpose-led brands who want visuals that feel human, grounded and connected to place, without forcing anything.

It also works beautifully as a starting point. We can begin here, let the nervous system settle, then move down toward the coast for cliff edges, harbour light and sea-level texture.
