Monkton Kent Map

About Monkton

Monkton rests in the Thanet district, a quiet corner of Kent where the land slopes gently towards the coast. It lies 8.3 km north-north-west of Sandwich (from Sandwich: bearing 330°T, OS grid TR 285 651), and is situated south-east of St Nicholas at Wade village. The air here, particularly in the late afternoon, can carry a faint, sweet scent from the surrounding fields, a subtle perfume of earth and growing things. Its ancient church, St. Peter's, stands as a steadfast sentinel, its stone weathered by centuries of sun and wind, a quiet witness to the passing of generations. The village green, a patch of verdant calm, offers a place for quiet contemplation, where the rustling leaves of mature trees seem to murmur secrets of the past. Though small, Monkton possesses a deep sense of place, a quiet dignity that speaks of its enduring roots in this corner of England.
