| Sandwich,
is the oldest Cinque Port, appointed by Henry VIII as a 'you
can raise taxes in exchange for giving me ships' deal.
Now two miles inland due the silting in the River Stour,
a small quiet town with lots of old buildings including the
medieval Barbican and Fishgate (1384), as well as the St Bartholomews
Hospital, 15th century, and 16th century timbered Guildhall

The gap between the town and the sea is site of the famous
Sandwich Golf Course and two others.
