Swanscombe

 

Swanscombe is a small town north-west of Gravesend where the bones and tools of some of the earliest humans thought to have lived in England have been found. Formerly the Barnfield Pit, the site is now called the Swanscombe Heritage Park where a 400,000-year-old skull – The Swanscombe Man – is kept.

Several pubs can be found in the town offering local beers including The George & Dragon, home of the award winning Caveman Brewery, which brews its ales in the cellar beneath the main bar. Other locally brewed beers are also available as well as good, simple food.

The town became the centre of the cement making industry due to its natural abundance of chalk and clay, but is better known these days for being on the Channel Tunnel route between England and France.

About our e-newsletter

We promise that we will never, ever pass your details to anyone else or overwhelm you with emails – we send one a month, occasionally two (unless we have something really amazing that we think you will want to know about straightaway!).

And we will always make it really easy for you to unsubscribe – one click, straight from the email. We never want to lose our readers but we know how hugely irritating it is when the unsubscribe facility is made as difficult to use as possible..
