Walking Tour of Sandwich.

Once the major port in England but now two miles from the sea, Sandwich is possibly one of the best preserved medieval towns in the UK. Within the old town walls the many period houses, with their characteristic "Kent peg" tile roofs, as well as a wealth of timber framed buildings, are laid out in a street plan which has changed little since the foundation of the Domesday book in 1086.

Perhaps the most charming part of town, the quayside boasts several riverside restaurants and in summer it’s a haven for pleasure boats. From the bridge there’s a marvellous view of Fisher Gate and the Barbican, beyond which is The Bell Hotel the town's elegant Assembly Rooms in Georgian days.

The Barbican was built in 1539 and formed part of coastal defences; traffic goes under this narrowed roadway before reaching the former toll bridge.
