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.

Appledore's church is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul. Dating back to the 13th-century with many 14th-century renovations, the church has plenty of interesting features. Both the tower and north chapel are original 13th-century sections, but the rest of the church is later as the French, common invaders in the region, partially burnt it down toward the end of the 14th century.

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.

This is a stretch of the Royal Military Canal with the Gusbourne estate across the stream. There are beautiful views of the vines during summer.

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