Romney Marsh
About 5,000 years ago, sea-level stabilized and the area changed to a series of lagoons, sand pits and salt plains. Subsequent long shore drift created a tidal barrier while reclamation of this land, started by the romans and carried on by Saxons and then Normans for agricultural use, together with fierce storms in the 14th Century have combined to render the Marsh into its current world important geomorphological, geographical and geological formation and natural habitat populated with rare flora, fauna and fauna.
