It is a prominent and recognisable feature of the town’s landscape, and visible from numerous locations on both the mainland and the Isle of Sheppey. 2. The Swale (a coastal SSSI and SPA designated for its biodiversity value, particularly for migratory birds) lies to the east/southeast of the site beyond areas of open ground, and public footpath ZU1 (the Saxon Shore Way) approximately follows the coastline past the mill. To the south of the mill is Castle Rough, a scheduled monument (HER Number: TQ 96 NW 10) comprising a Danish fortress / medieval moated manor house that is now largely subsumed by the landscape and apparent only through changing land levels. 3. To the west of the site is an agricultural field, beyond which lies Swale Way (a main arterial road through Sittingbourne).

Map Features: Comment text: Canterbury City Councillors in general do not represent the interests of voters. I strongly support the decision to reduce their numbers. I would welcome further reductions. In my opinion Canterbury City would be better served by a small accountable service with the remit of maintaining public land, keeping streets and roads litter and graffiti free and maintaining law and order. City Councillors are paid a lot of money and do none of these things. Decisions regarding future planning decisions and selling land should be put at county level and kept in the public domain; city councillors seem to have no long-term vision. Tax payers' money should not be wasted in allowing the City Council to pay expensive lawyers to fight residents' legitimate claim to preserve recreational land in densely populated city locations as such while neglecting basic maintenance of the city so harming legitimate business interests. https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk//node/print/informed-representation/2692

It takes in the Isle of Sheppey w hich is connected to the mainland by tw o bridges at Sw ale. It is the longest coastline in Kent. 4.4.1.2 Approximately 55 km is on PRoWs, 27 km is de facto access (though some is difficult walking) and 33 km is inaccessible to w alkers. The majority of the 27 km of inaccessible coast does not appear to be excepted land. From the Coastal Access aspect it is the most complicated coastline in Kent. Part of the mainland route is along the Saxon Shore Way. 4.4.1.3 The view to seaw ard at the start is over the Medw ay estuary. There are extensive saltings and several uninhabited islands. The route then follows the River Sw ale to Sheppey and back to the Medw ay Estuary. The north and east coasts of Sheppey look out to the Thames Estuary.

  • 1 the England Coast Path River Deben Association Autumn Meeting
    The England Coast Path River Deben Association Autumn Meeting 29th November Speaker: Giles Merritt, Lead Adviser, England Coast Path Delivery (Norfolk and Suffolk Team) Natural England Establishing the England Coast Path The River Deben Association’s Autumn Meeting on 29th November was well attended with over 150 members present. Giles Merritt, Lead Advisor for Natural England Coast path development in Norfolk and Suffolk provided a lively presentation about the England Coast Path with a particular emphasis on Suffolk and the River Deben. Giles has worked on the England Coast Path for several years, most recently in Essex. His talk covered current routes by the Deben and the challenges faced by Natural England in implementing the plans, local progress and the options for the Coast Path between Bawdsey and Felixstowe Ferry. Giles explained that the England Coast Path was supported with extra funding from the Government in 2014 with the target for completion in 2020. The Path has a statutory framework going back as far as 2009. The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 established a coastal access duty - to create a long-distance walking route around the English coast (the England Coast Path) which should be accessible to the public on foot. Natural England is charged with its delivery and must adhere to the Coastal Access Scheme which ensures that a balance is struck between the interests of those who own the land and the public in having new access rights over the land. It’s a challenging balancing act, factors which must be taken into consideration include: for the public: proximity of trail to the sea, views, safety and continuity of the path for private interests: operational needs, income, privacy and change of use.

  • Anecdotes of the Hasted Family
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 26 1904 ( 267 ) ANECDOTES OE THE HASTED EAMILY. THE name of Edward Hasted, to whose great county history, in spite of its inaccuracies and lack of literary style, all subsequent workers in the same field owe more than they often care to own, will always be held in honour by Kentish antiquaries. Little, however, appears to he known about the family and life of the man himself. What is known is probably based upon the obituary notice which appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1812; this had been written by Hasted himself, and conveys a somewhat inaccurate impres- sion. The Kentish historian is described therein as descended from the baronial house of Clifford—a gentleman of birth and fortune who, by the malignity ; of certain enemies (unnamed), bad been deprived of his patrimony, and brought to such financial straits that he spent some years within the " liberty " of the King's Bench, and at length found an asylum in his old age at Oorsham in "Wilts, where he ended his days in 1812 as Master of Lady Hungerford's Hospital. It has generally been assumed from the above that Edward Hasted was a man of position in the county, and that his pecuniary downfall was chiefly owing to the vast sums of money expended in the production of his History of Kent.
