St Eanswith's Church

You'll find St Eanswith's Church in a rather windswept corner of Romney Marsh, and it's worth stopping for if you're touring the area by caravan. The building itself is modest - a small Norman church that's been standing since the 12th century, with the sort of worn stone walls that make you feel the weight of centuries. What makes it genuinely interesting is St Eanswith herself, a local Anglo-Saxon saint with connections to the area that run deep enough that some claim she's buried here.

Inside, it's plain and quiet. No flashy decoration, just solid faith in stone and timber. You'll get a real sense of how worship looked centuries ago - no complications, no crowds. The churchyard is peaceful too, the kind of place where you can hear the wind properly. It's the sort of visit that appeals to history enthusiasts and anyone with patience for quiet contemplation rather than tourists after Instagram moments.

The church is easily reached from the nearby holiday parks - Romney Meadows is closest at just over three miles away, and Cabu by the Sea only slightly further. Give yourself twenty minutes to have a proper look around. There's no charge that I'm aware of, and access is fairly straightforward, though opening hours can be unpredictable at smaller churches like this, so it's worth ringing ahead if you're making a special trip. On a grey Marsh day, it's atmospheric. On a sunny one, frankly, you might feel you've got better things to do.
