The long distance path leads along a sea wall beside the Sandwich Bay shingle beach. On the left is the Royal Cinque Ports Golf Course. The 7th Tee is on the right (just beyond Jack!) Balls are fired across the footpath (when in use) into the golf course!
Saxon Shore Way

The Saxon Shore Way starts at Gravesend, Kent and traces the coast as it was in the Roman times as far as Hastings in East Sussex, 163 miles (262 km) in total. The Saxon Shore Way was originally opened in 1980, but has since been re-established, and in parts re-routed and extended. It follows the coastline of the South East as it was about 1500 years ago, long before the North Kent Marshes or the Romney Marsh came into existence. The Way takes its name, The Saxon Shore, from a line of fortifications built along the coastline as it was in the 3rd Century AD.
