However, they are both grown up now and we feel it is time for us to downsize but it has been a wonderful family home and it will be a wrench to leave as we love the village and have delightful neighbours. Fordwich is famous for being the smallest town in England with its own town hall and is full of attractive and historic buildings with the river Stour running through its centre. The town includes the excellent olde worlde George and Dragon pub as well as the Michelin Star Fordwich Arms restaurant that you can easily walk to if you want an evening out and don't want to drive. Also within easy walking distance in the adjacent village of Sturry with its station where the high speed train can whisk you to London in just over an hour as well as a pharmacy, post office, hairdresser, Co-op convenience store as well as Milner Court, the famous Kings School Junior school and the Sturry primary school, graded Outstanding by Ofsted. For anyone who enjoys outdoor pursuits you can even walk across to the Canterbury golf course and there are other wonderful places to go for a stroll with the dog. There is the Sturry cricket club and fishing available on the river Stour and the nearby Westbere Lakes offers sailing opportunities as well as fishing, while clay pigeon shooting takes place at the Greenfields Shooting grounds in Sturry. Other sporting activities are available at the Polo Farm Club and the Kingsmead Leisure Centre. Although we are in a rural environment the area is also extremely convenient as we are very close to a large retail park and only a short drive or bus ride to the centre of the historic city of Canterbury with its ancient buildings, high street stores, individual shops, bars, restaurants and theatres a well as a plethora of educational facilities including excellent grammar and private schools, three universities and a further education college.
