Sandwich, Medieval market town in Dover, England
The town features narrow streets lined with half-timbered houses, medieval gates, ancient churches, and remnants of defensive walls along the River Stour.
As one of the Cinque Ports during the Middle Ages, Sandwich served as a major harbor until the Wantsum Channel silted up, moving the coast two miles away.
The Guildhall Museum exhibits original copies of the Magna Carta and Charter of the Forest, presenting artifacts spanning from prehistoric times to present day.
Visitors can explore the town through the Town Trail, which connects historical structures, churches, and ancient walls while explaining local heritage.
The Fisher Gate from 1384 stands as the sole remaining medieval town entrance, operating as a toll collection point through the centuries.
