Welcome to Sandwich

Sandwich has a rich history spanning more than 2000 years and is perhaps most famous for being one of the Cinque Ports established in the 12th century to defend the South coast from invasion.

Come and take a leisurely stroll through the narrow cobbled streets; discover a charming way of life in one of the town’s many taverns; or perhaps explore the ancient ruins of the Roman fort and amphitheatre stationed at Richborough.

Not content with being a centre of historic activity, Sandwich is also a golfer’s delight with a number of courses in the surrounding countryside. Royal St. George’s - host of the 2011 Open Championship - is a professional 18-hole course with a distinguished history that has hosted many tournaments over the years.

Whatever you are looking for, Sandwich delivers. Come visit this historic town today and take in a little of the county’s heritage.
