Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joanna Godden Three marshes spread across the triangle made by the Royal Military Canal and the coasts of Sussex and Kent. The Military Canal runs from Hythe to Rye, beside the Military road; between it and the flat, white beaches of the channel lie Romney Marsh, Dunge Marsh is sectored by the Kent Ditch, which draws huge, straggling diagrams here, to preserve ancient rights of parishes and the monks of Canterbury. Dunge Marsh runs up into the apex of the triangle at Dunge Ness, and adds to itself twenty feet of shingle every year. Romney Marsh is the sixth continent and the eight wonder of the world. The three marshes are much alike; indeed to the foreigner they are all a single spread of green, slatted with watercourses. No river crosses them, for the Rother curves close under Rye Hill, though these marshes were made by its ancient month, when it was the River Limine and ran into the Channel at Old Romney. There are a few big watercourses - the New Sewer, the Yokes Sewer, the White Kemp Sewer - there are a few white roads, and a great many marsh villages - Brenzett, Ivychurch, Fairfield, Smargate, Snave - each little more than a church with a farmhouse or two.
