Location: Fordwich is a beautiful and ancient port on the River Great Stour, two miles downstream from the City of Canterbury in Kent. Fordwich is officially the smallest town in Britain and although having never boasted more than a few hundred inhabitants, its right to style itself a town dates from 1184, when King Henry II granted it a Merchant Gild Charter, reflecting its importance as the de facto port for Canterbury. There are two fantastic pubs in Fordwich: The George & Dragon Pub - serving wholesome, traditional pub food in a pub dating back to the 1500’s. And The Fordwich Arms, which is located next to the pretty River Stour and is firmly established as one of the country’s best restaurants currently holding a Michelin Star. Fordwich is only half a mile from Sturry Train Station which has direct links to London on the High Speed as well as to the coast. Canoe Wild is a great spot for water sport enthusiasts (or those wishing to learn) with canoe and kayak experiences up and down the River Stour. Fordwich Lakes is a stunning landscape and is perfect for the keen Carp angler. Excellent schooling is located around Canterbury, Sturry and Fordwich including the well renowned Junior Kings School.
