A CITY & VILLAGE TOURS BRAND NEW DAYTRIP

GHOSTS OF THE ROMNEY MARSH PUB TOUR

The Romney Marsh is a remote and mysterious place - a landscape of wide horizons dotted with small villages, ancient churches and some lovely old pubs beneath huge starry skies. With the sea lapping its shores this was a big smuggling area - it is even suggested that smuggling began on the Romney Marsh. And where there are smugglers there are ghost stories to explain those mysterious bumps in the night and keep people indoors and out of the way!

Enjoy an afternoon or evening coach tour full of ghosts, smugglers and the mysteries of the Marsh with visits to two ancient country pubs followed by fish & chips at the famous Pilot Inn at Dungeness. Discover the swashbuckling Dr Syn - by day the local vicar, by night the smuggling Scarecrow and find out why you must always protect yourself from witches by smashing your egg shells.

Timings and start points are arranged to suit you. For example meet the Blue Badge guide for a drink at the first pub at 3.00pm enjoy a very entertaining tour of the mysterious Romney Marsh stopping midway at another old pub and finish up with fish & chips at the famous Pilot Inn at Dungeness at 6.00pm ready to go home an hour later. So four hours from start to finish. Start at 4.00pm, go home at 8.00pm, start at 6pm and go home at 10.00pm etc.

We’ve been taking groups to The Pilot Inn at Dungeness for over twenty years and although the pub has changed hands three times in that time the fish & chips have always been tip top. The last owners spent a whopping £50,000 installing brand new state of the art deep fat fryers of the type you find in the best fish & chip shops which means that the kitchen can turn out beautifully fried fish from fishing fleets along the South coast for fifty people without any delay.

And is it haunted? Of course it is! The first Pilot pub was built from the timbers of a Spanish ship deliberately wrecked and looted for its cargo of brandy. The fish & chips are fabulous - just don’t go to the loo on your own!
