B2051

This article is about the current B2051, which runs from Margate to Northdown in eastern Kent.
For the original B2051, which was located near to Westgate-on-Sea in the same county, see B2051 (Westgate-on-Sea - Woodchurch).

Eastern Esplanade, Margate

The B2051 is a short B-road through the suburbs of Margate. The road was unclassified in 1922 but the westernmost third soon became part of the B2052; the B2051 came into being when that road was rerouted in the late 1980s.

The road starts at a mini roundabout by the clock tower in Margate, a junction with the A28 Marine Terrace and the A254 Belgrave Road. From here it runs first northeasterly and then easterly along the seafront, although there are a few sharp corners and the sea is not always visible. By the miniature golf course there's a sharp right-hand bend and we head inland along Princess Margaret Avenue before crossing an unclassified road at a staggered crossroads into the D2 Queen Elizabeth Avenue. We turn left at a mini roundabout at the end and terminate just afterwards by meeting the B2052 at another mini roundabout at the southwest corner of Northdown Park.
