SANDWICH - KENT

History of the Reserve

Gazen Salts would in Roman times have formed the bottom of the Wantsum Channel, a strait of water which divided Kent from the Isle of Thanet. It is from this history the “Salts” part of the name is derived. Gazen is a corruption of the name of a lease holder of the saltings, John Gason.
The area is a favorite destination among those seeking a return to nature
