Great Engeham Farm takes its name from the Engeham family who have a colourful history and have played a major role in the development of Woodchurch. A notable event is the peasants rebellion of 1450 under Jack Cade when an Alan Engeham was pardoned by the King after agreeing to return home peacefully to Woodchurch.

Today Great Engeham Farm offers comfortable accommodation in a recently converted farm building in a location that is ideal to explore the ever changing countryside and the magical villages of the Garden of England.

The rolling hills of the North Downs with the Pilgrims Way through to the gently undulating landscape of the Romney Marsh offer a diversity of terrain, colour and wildlife to satisfy the enquiring nature of all who love the countryside.

The land around Great Engeham is a labyrinth of footpaths and bridleways that connect neighbouring villages in an almost continuous network of places to walk.

To the South is the Romney Marsh which includes a wide range of habitat and is home to a rich variety of wild flowers and bird life. Under the Romney Marsh Countryside Project ( see Attractions page ) there now exists a whole range of cycle rides and walking trails that pass through nature reserves, bird sancturies, wetlands and many unique eco systems

The Romney Marsh stretches from the cornfields of Woodchurch to the sandy beaches of Dymchurch and Greatstone along to the great shingle banks of Dungeness. The variety is incredible.
