Romney Marsh Champagne Tour

Product Description

Explore forgotten villages ancient towns & miles & miles of wetlands on this very special Kent & Sussex coastal tour! This is your chance to book a place on a Champagne sightseeing flight departing from Lydd Airport that'll whisk you over some of the wildest parts of Kent & neighbouring East Sussex.

The Romney Marsh wetlands cover over 100 square miles & are some of the least inhabited parts of East Sussex & Kent. Miles & miles of flat marshy land down to the dunes on the coast only accessible by winding narrow roads means some parts are still pretty much untouched by urbanisation making it a real delight to discover by air.

After a Champagne reception it's time to board your plane. Your flight path will take you over Rye the pretty little town built where the river Rother Tillingham & Brede meet. Part of the ' Cinque Ports' in Medieval times you'll quite clearly be able to make out those steep cobbled little streets cute houses & tea shops from your window seat.

As you fly over the Ypres Tower & the windmill you'll see the port where working fishing boats moor alongside leisure yachts before following the Rother down to Camber Sands; East Sussex's only sand dunes that stretch to the Kent border. See if you can spot evidence of the fortification of the dunes from the Second World War & watch as kite boarders & surfers make the most of predominant winds this area of coastline is famous for.

The Romney Marshes were always known for sheep farming & whilst numbers have declined you might still see some munching on the salty grasslands as you fly over this distinctive Kentish landscape which was also much-loved by smugglers & gangs back in the day.

As the aircraft turns back in-land you'll be able to look down on Appledore where you'll clearly be able to see the Royal Military Canal which was built during the threat of invasion by Napoleon & the ancient Rhee Wall waterway that dates back to the 13th century.

We think this Kent & Sussex coastal tour offers a superb introduction to the two counties with everything from Martello towers to the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch railway all visible from the air. & what could be better than a glass of Champers before your very special departure? A sightseeing tour by executive plane that's sure to please.
