Sandwich to Sandwich Bay - Wildlife & Landscape - 8th Sept 2012
Sandwich to Sandwich Bay. Wildlife & Landscape filmed on 8th Sept 2012. From Sandwich town I followed the Stour Valley Walk down to the Sandwich and Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve. The path eventually leads you (past a naturist beach) close to the mouth of the river Stour where you can view the Common Seals on the mud bank opposite (try not to disturb them and avoid Shellness point as many birds roost there). Wildlife filmed includes Grey Heron, Kestrel, Wheatear, Skylark, Small Copper Butterfly and Silver Y Moth. On the way back I used the public footpath across the Royal St George golf course that is part of the Saxon Shore Way and back to Sandwich Town.

Sandwich is a historic town and civil parish on the River Stour in the non-metropolitan district of Dover, within the ceremonial county of Kent, south-east England. Sandwich was one of the Cinque Ports and still has many original medieval buildings, including several listed public houses and gates in the old town walls, churches, almshouses and the White Mill. While once a major port, it is now two miles from the sea due to the disappearance of the Wantsum Channel. Its historic centre has been preserved.
Sandwich Bay is home to nature reserves and two world-class golf courses, Royal St George's and Prince's. The town is also home to educational and cultural events. Sandwich also gave its name to the bread snack by way of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, and the word sandwich is now found in many languages.
There is Monk's Wall nature reserve and a bird observatory at Sandwich Bay, which provides a home for wild duck and other wildlife in a wetland habitat. The reserve was opened by celebrity bird-watcher Bill Oddie in May 2000. Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust proposed the design and a management plan, including modifications to ditches and control of water levels to create ecological conditions that attract wetland species of plants, animals and birds. Historically the land was reclaimed from the river and sea by the monks of Sandwich, and the northern boundary is still the old Monks' wall of the 13th century.
Sandwich lies at the southern end of Pegwell Bay, which includes a large nature reserve, known for its migrating waders and wildfowl, with a complete series of seashore habitats including extensive mudflats and salt marsh. Sandwich has had at least eight windmills over the centuries, the earliest reference to a mill being dated 1608.
The town is served by Sandwich railway station. It was formerly also served by Sandwich Road railway station on the East Kent Light Railway. Sandwich has been bypassed by the A256 road, which connects Thanet to Dover. It is reached from Canterbury by the A257, which joins the A256 at Sandwich.

Sandwich England folk song - John Drury
Sandwich England folk song sung by local actors is about the story of John Drury (Or John Dury as I'm not sure which spelling is correct).
Why does the Mayor of Sandwich still wear a black robe?
In 1457, Sandwich was attacked by 4,000 Frenchmen (mainly from Honfleur) under Marshal Pierre de Breze or as English accounts call him, Peter Brassey. The parishes of St. Mary and St. Clement were destroyed (except St. Clement's tower). The citizens fought desperately all day until help arrived from the other Cinque Port towns and at about 5.30 pm the French withdrew.
The Mayor of Sandwich, John Drury, was killed along with many citizens. In memory of this event, the Mayor of Sandwich still wears a black robe.
The devastated town did not really recover until a hundred years had passed.
