Warehorne
Warehorne village on the
edge of Romney Marsh is divided into three parts - one at the
Leacon, by the old school and Leacon Hall, which is a good example
of a Queen Anne House, another part round the village green, church
and pub and the third part running down to Bluebell Cottages. The
church is partly 13th century with an 18th century brick tower. A
three mile stretch of the Royal Military Canal, part of which is
owned by the National Trust, runs from Warehorne to Appledore. Much
of the parish land is administered by the Forestry Commission,
which provides parking facilities, picnic areas and marked
pathways.
