The Royal Oak - Romney Marsh

Share |

The Royal Oak in Brookland on Romney Marsh is a typical old country inn. Steeped in history, for well over 270 years The Royal Oak has afforded shelter and sustenance to locals and travellers and still today it continues to offer as warm a welcome to visitors as ever in its long history. The location of The Royal Oak is such as to be attractive to those who seek a quiet spot, away from the hustle and rush of modern life.

The inn, although ancient, has recently been sympathetically renovated and re-furnished. It lies adjacent to the 13th century St Augustine’s Church, which is one of only four churches in England to have its bell tower standing apart from the church.

Here in a corner of Kent is a peaceful old village, enveloped in quietude and restfulness, tucked away in the middle of the beautiful and mysterious Romney Marsh, one of the few remaining unspoilt areas of south east England.

Romney Marsh, once called by Rudyard Kipling in Puck of Pook’s Hill as the “Sixth Continent” due to the wide expanse of levels with their special privileges and customs, did indeed for centuries regard itself as quite distinct from the rest of the world. The territory of infamous smuggling gangs and numerous sheep farmers, dotted with ancient medieval church towers, tending to sag at strange angles into the marshland, Romney Marsh still manages today to retain its withdrawn, haunting beauty.

Surrounding the village is open farmland offering an atmosphere of rare tranquility. Rich meadowland dotted with flocks of sheep, for which Romney Marsh is synonymous, is interspersed with remote lying arable farms.

Whatever your interests, whether they be from bird watching, cycling, walking, water sports, fine dining, to visiting historic towns or ancient churches and castles, Romney Marsh and the surrounding area has something for everyone.
