About

Sandwich ward encompasses the historic core of the town, centred on its medieval street plan. The area is defined by a network of narrow lanes and timber-framed buildings, with the River Stour and its quays forming a key boundary. This is a residential and commercial hub containing the Guildhall and several churches. The ward includes the former hospital site and extends to the Sandwich Bay Nature Reserve, incorporating areas of marshland.

A notable feature is the preserved 13th-century barbican gatehouse, one of the last of its kind in England, standing at the town's original entrance. The area's geography is largely flat, shaped by the river and old defensive walls. Land use is mixed, with housing, small businesses, and significant green spaces including the Sandwich Bay golf links. The ward's perimeter follows clear physical boundaries like waterways and roads.
