Why Romney Marsh?
Formed over thousands of years of coastal change, the Romney Marsh is a unique area in the southeast. It has a colourful history; invasion, threatened attacks and smuggling. It is also home to a fine collection of rural churches that, if you choose to explore them, will lead you around the corners of the marsh.
