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.
