Other Guided Tours

For group leaders seeking to organise their own tour, the Trust may be able to offer the services of a guide. If you are interested in a tour, please use the contact form on our website.

We have been conducting guided tours of the churches of Romney Marsh since being founded in 1982 and the format is based on a coach with a driver who is prepared for narrow lanes, the level of activity suitable for the group and the distances involved. Numbers should be between 30 and 50. It is usually an all day event, normally seeing four churches, with a pub lunch and tea.

The party arrives at 10.15 at the Rose & Crown at Old Romney for coffee before leaving on the morning tour, returning to the same pub for lunch. Following the afternoon visits, tea (optional) is provided at 4 pm back at the pub. Leave for home at 5 pm.

Tours are normally given on Tuesdays or Thursdays. We try to avoid weekends which may have weddings or other church events booked.

Our guides, who give their services free to the Trust are speakers with knowledge of the history of the Marsh churches and their impact on people since mediaeval times. During tea, the Trust’s publications are on sale.

Although during recent seasons, our groups have used The Rose & Crown at Old Romney (01797 367500), group leaders are always welcome to make their own arrangements. Please include your coach driver and our guide/speaker in your numbers for lunch and tea. You should let the Tours organiser and the publican know your final numbers a fortnight before the visit after which time the number should remain constant. Payment is made directly to the establishment on the day. Please also allow a seat in the front of the coach for the Trust’s guide/speaker.

Finally, the Trust appreciates a minimum donation of £10 per head (ie a minimum of £300 per whole day group) which goes towards its support of the churches of Romney Marsh.
