Shepway Cross The Shepway Cross was paid for and unveiled on 4th August 1923 by Earl Beauchamp KG, the then Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports upon ground donated by the then owner of Lympne Castle. Most people seem to think that this monument exists merely to mark the spot where traditionally the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports held his Court for Shepway. It is invariably referred to as the “Shepway Cross” by those who are ignorant of its real purpose. Its true title should be the Cinque Ports War Memorial. Whilst it does reside on a spot traditionally used by the Cinque Ports Court, its purpose was to commemorate the great deeds of the men of the Cinque Ports in all British conflicts.

Royal Military Canal Path The Royal Military Canal Path (27 miles) mainly follows a canal-side path, which fringes the northern edge of Romney Marsh and which was built in the early 19th century as a defence against a possible invasion by Napoleon. The Canal is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a SSSI. In addition to its historical and archaeological interest it is a valuable wetland habitat for a variety of species of flora and fauna. Links are made with the Saxon Shore Way at Appledore and West Hythe providing options for a circular route between these two places.
