Sandwich is a compact historic town and ward in the district of Dover, in Kent, England. It sits beside the tidal River Stour and the sheltered shore of Sandwich Bay, with adjoining salt marshes and dunes that support notable birdlife and coastal habitats.
Once one of the original Cinque Ports, Sandwich retains a well‑preserved medieval core, a Guildhall and parish church, and an aristocratic connection that gave rise to the Earl of Sandwich. The local economy leans on tourism, heritage and golf visitors attracted by Royal St George's Golf Club, while conservation interests and nearby antiquities such as the Roman remains at Richborough add to its cultural and recreational appeal.
