A pretty village situated between Canterbury and Margate, Sarre is famous for two things. One is its working smock mill, one of the few windmills in England still producing goods for sale. At Sarre, the mill turns locally grown wheat into stoneground flour which can be bought at the gift shop. Visitors are welcome to tackle the steep climb to the top of the windmill. They may also browse the ancient machinery exhibited at the museum, meet the animals in the farmyard and take a break for a cup of tea and a tasty treat from the mill's bakery. Sarre's second attraction is The Crown Inn, a Grade 1-listed 15th Century building also known as The Cherry Brandy House. This is the only place in the country where it's possible to buy cherry brandy made from a secret Huguenot recipe. Sarre was one of the Thanet ports that once bordered the Wantsum Channel before it silted over. Now located inland, Sarre is an attractive village with some lovely old brick houses. Golf and riding are available nearby. The surrounding fields and woodlands offer delightful walks and cycle rides, and the Sarre Penn Valley is an excellent location for bird-watching.
