スナーゲートでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Open during the day.

Beautiful section of walking along the wide grassy banks of the Royal Military Canal.

This simple bridge spans the Royal Military Canal at the edge of Romney Marsh. Not far from the region invaded before the Battle of Hastings, many hundreds of years later this marsh was a weak point in England's defences against the French, namely, Napoleon. The information board here talks of the deliberation involved in defending the vast marshland so close to France.

This church sits on a site that has seen much in its time. A Saxon fort was once built here but Danish invaders sacked it and a church of this dedication was noted in the Domesday Book. Part of the tower dates back to the 12th century and it was struck by lightening in the 16th. The resulting fire destroyed much of the church, and it was rebuilt into the one you see today.

Quiet churchyard with sheep grazing among the graves. Beautiful and peaceful.
