Have you visited Sandwich in Kent? I love exploring this picturesque town. Despite being a Cinque Port, Sandwich is no longer on the coast, but it's worth visiting; want to know more? #VisitEngland #whitecliffscountry #VisitKent #VisitDover buff.ly/779jWBB

A purple and orange gradient with four different coloured squares on top of it. The top left square is yellow and orange, it has a black silhouette of a rat on it, with a white shield that has text reading "why is there a rat in the museum?". The top right square is red and orange, with the silhouette of a gavel and the text in the shield reads "do you wish to call any witnesses?" The lower left square is blue and yellow, with a silhouette of handcuffs and the shield reads "where were you on 30th March 1934?" and the lower right square is purple and orange, with a silhouette of bread on it and the shield has text reading "are there any other places that share their name with a food?"

We've been thinking a lot about the questions we get asked and stories from Sandwich's history that we haven't delved too deeply into. Tomorrow, you get to find out why! Keep your eyes peeled and ears open 👀 for an exciting announcement!

~White Cliffs of Dover. And it's all over... Back to England 🇬🇧. Loved my mini break to France. #portofdover #weekend #SaturdayVibes #france #p&overly #visitdover #whitecliffsofdover

Port of Dover. I arrived and a quick check in for a foot passenger on P&O Ferry. Very smooth process. #portofdover #visitkent #visitdover #FridayVibes #travel #weekend

Dover Castle. Awesome view from my hotel window. Made it down for my mini break. #visitkent #visitdover #dovercastle #travel #thursdayvibes

By the late 1600s the meetings had become sporadic and purely ceremonial, without much discussion of fish! This photograph shows members gathered outside of the Guildhall in 1920. You can read more about the traditions of the Cinque Ports in our special exhibition.
