Hi Crystal, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. You have to love a little quirkiness, and you can always find it if you look in the historic cities, towns & villages of this isle. We're always on the lookout for more. Anyway, all the best, Gary & Janis

Awww brings back so many memories for me. I would ride my bike there every day as a kid and grew up fishing there and all over there when my dad took me and would go to all the parks and the many other things and then on the walks my parents loved going on there, then as time went on I had my own kids and I took them there for years as they grew up and I hope that they will take their kids there and enjoy the place as much as me. It has always been such a beautiful place to me from a little kid right through my 40s and even though I now live in NRW Germany, it still is and always will be my favourite place to be, what ever I am doing there. I love how it just has not changed in so many years, I mean I walked around sandwich as a kid over 40 years ago and apart from the vehicles being new, the place itself is almost identical to the first time I went there. I cant wait to take my German wife and my new son there, if truth has to be known, I wished I had moved there rather than Germany, maybe I can talk her round some day, we will see lol

Hi, It will be lovely to visit Sandwich with your family. You're right; it probably hasn't changed a huge lot over the years, and on a sunny day, there really isn't a bettre place to visit in Kent for a good dash of nostalgia. I hope you all make it back here someday, really soon. All the best Gary & Janis

Well shot, well explained, this video is brilliant!! I'd love to visit sandwich someday

I must give a vote for The Sandwich Shop a great place for breakfast, lunch or tea. I have always found the staff there very pleasant indeed and well worth their tip.

That sounds great. We love the town of Sandwich, a slice of old England, and well worth a visit we think. Thanks for your feedback, Gary & Janis

went to school here for five years. if anyone ever films a period drama or whatever here i would go insane. probably would be too overcome with emotion and tears to even watch it

Hi Vickie, Absolutely, Ash is a pretty little village, just a few short miles from Sandwich, a beautiful part of the world. I might have to include it in a little road trip in the future around that part of Kent. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. All the best, Gary & Janis

Looks lovely will add to our itinerary when we visit Kent later in the year

1:25 Thank you for this excellent video of the town I live in. Allow me just a minor correction; the P22 patrolled the River Rhine, a long way from the border between East and West Germany.

Thanks so much Joe; I am glad you liked our video of your town. A beautiful place, and of course, you are correct the P22 was a Rhine patrol craft, and the Rhine is nowhere near the East/West Germany border. I meant to say between a divided country, rather than on the divide, my mistake. Thanks again for taking the time to comment, Happy & safe travels, Gary & Janis

Hello my friends once again :) As a medieval historian, I have visited Sandwich on many, many occasions -such an important port from early Saxon times. A few mentions - the Fisher Gate, originally the main gateway from the port, with the custom house just further up. The Guildhall still retains the wooden paneled courtroom within. Do take the steps up to the top of the tower of St.Peters Church - only recently installed with the additional wooden steps during my last visit in 2016 - tight fit in places - but the view is well worth it - and people should explore the alleyways that connect most of the streets - wonderful place and endlessly fascinating. Very nice tour - top shelf as always, and thank you :)

🙏 Thank you again. I have seen Sandwich described as one of our Medieval treasures, but as I researched using Historic England's excellent resources (historicengland.org.uk/), I noticed many amendments over the later centuries. I would have loved to have seen the guildhall in its day. After Janis watched the video, she remembered why we didn't climb the tower - face masks. Face masks & spectacles don't mix, especially on a climb. One for next time, perhaps? Thanks again, take care. Gary

@@OurWorldForYou Yes, face masks and spectacles are a tricky combination at any time :( I only need to wear a mask for about three hours a week- to complete my shopping, as I live out in the wop wops and fairly reclusive at that. difficult for many retail staff though - all day, every day !!! Thanks again !

Just been there from Australia, its beautiful

Hi Ann, That sounds fantastic, Brighton, and this weather - must be wonderful. With the Jurassic Coast & Cotswolds yet to come - 🤞 we leave the sun turned on. We hope so as we're off to Wells & Salisbury next week - who knows, it's the British summer. I bet it's nice to be back; the place has changed a touch over the years.

Just outside Sandwich either side of the Deal road are two villages, Ham and Worth. The sign post has all four names on it. So Ham Sandwiches are Worth a great Deal. I was born and brought up in a small village 1.1/2 miles from Sandwich and went to secondary school in Sandwich.

Merci pour la visite et les sous-titres en français. Pour la visite vous auriez pu parler the « White Mill » Rural héritage centre. Des bénévoles restaurent le moulin et font visiter le site, très intéressant, entrée gratuite, possibilité de faire un don.

how long do you recommend to visit for 1/2 day, full day?

Hi Carolina, That's a good question, and it depends on how much you want to see. In 3 - 4 hours you can have a good look around; however, if you stop for lunch, and pop in a few places, you could spend a whole day. (The video was shot over 2.5 hours, but we've been to Sandwich many times) Anyway, we hope you enjoy your visit; happy & safe travels, J&G

they do sell the best sandwiches over there, mmm good god! this one tastes awful, im sure i didn't get it from sandwich.
