Sarre is a small village and civil parish on the Isle of Thanet in Kent, England, sitting close to the remnants of the old Wantsum Channel that once separated the island from the mainland. The landscape around the village is a mix of reclaimed marsh, pasture and arable fields, making it attractive for walkers and birdwatchers and giving the place a quietly rural character despite its proximity to the coast.
Historically Sarre was an important crossing point and has medieval roots, and today its economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns and centres such as Margate, Ramsgate and Canterbury. Its location also keeps it tied into the broader heritage and tourism scene of east Kent, with historic ports and towns like Sandwich within easy reach.
