Welcome to Sandwich
Step back in time and explore one of the original Cinque Ports
which can lay claim to being one of the most historic towns in the
country.
Retrace some of history's more famous visitor
steps - King Charles II drank outside the Bell Hotel and Queen
Elizabeth I visited in 1573. Wander through the unspoilt,
medieval streets, where there are more half timbered houses than
any other street in England.
The historic town trail follows a quiet circular walk, much of
it running alongside the River Stour. There are a number of
historical pubs along the walk to enjoy a drink or a Sandwich!
The 4th Earl of Sandwich is reputed to have asked for
meat to be served between 2 slices of bread to avoid interupting
his gambling!
Stay in and around Sandwich. From 16th century bed and
breakfasts and self catering cottages with historical
connections, to The Bell Hotel on The Quay - all offer
something special and unique.
Whether this is your first visit to Sandwich, or you’ve
discovered Royal St Georges and Prince's golf course's,
cultural and historical heritage before, there’s always lots to
explore!
