St Peters

St Peters sits right on the edge of New Romney, a proper medieval church that's been standing watch over the Romney Marsh for centuries. What strikes you first is how solid it is - thick stone walls and that imposing tower that you can spot from miles around on the flat marshland. The interior's worth a look if you're into church architecture; there's some decent medieval detail if you know where to spot it, though it's not going to blow your mind if you're expecting Westminster Abbey.

This is one for the architecture enthusiasts and local history types rather than something that'll keep the kids entertained for hours. Plan on thirty minutes maximum to have a proper wander round and take some photos. The real value is that it anchors your understanding of New Romney itself - a town that was once a proper Cinque Port and mattered far more than it does now.

If you're staying at Parkdean Resorts Romney Sands or one of the other caravan parks dotted round here, St Peters works as a quick detour when you're exploring the town on foot. It's literally a minute's walk from the high street, so there's no real effort involved. The Romney Marsh landscape around it is genuinely atmospheric - windswept, a bit eerie, totally different from what most people expect of Kent. Combine it with a walk round the town itself and you've got a decent hour sorted. Don't make a special trip from elsewhere, but if you're staying locally, it's absolutely worth popping in.
