The town walls of Sandwich consisted of an earthen bank thrown up in 1384, which now form a pleasant walk around the edge of the town. This part of the defences on the left is known as The Bulwark and ahead is the (now dry) moat which surrounded the walls. Only one of the town gates, which were built at the same time, survive. This is Fisher Gate - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3815112
