Sandwich
Sandwich is a lovely town in an attractive setting.
Its ancient streets, confined in the walls that once defended the
town from marauding French and other invaders, carries the visitor
back to the days when it was a busy port. At one stage all
travellers leaving our shores had to sail from Sandwich. Little
appears to have changed within Sandwich's wall since Queen
Elizabeth I visited the town in 1573. Many of its medieval streets
and buildings remain with much of the town protected as a
Conservation Area.
Despite its links with the past Sandwich remains a lively town
with a strong community spirit.
It also boasts two excellent golf courses. The best and most
challenging in White Cliffs Country must be the famous Royal St
George's, where the Open is regularly played. The links have been
lengthened to 6,841 yards and several holes have been redesigned.
Prince's golf club lies inside the sweep of Sandwich Bay with a
lay-out of three nine-hole interconnecting loops.
