Oare in Kent Where History Meets Tranquility

Oare, a picturesque village in Kent, lies just north of Faversham, divided by the tranquil waters of Oare Creek. Steeped in history, it was once part of the manor owned by Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror, as noted in the Domesday Book. The village’s historic landmarks, including the 13th-century St. Peter’s Church and the remnants of the Harty Ferry, paint a vivid picture of England's rich past. To the north, the Oare Marshes, managed by Kent Wildlife Trust, offer a sanctuary for migratory birds and nature enthusiasts alike. With its charming pubs and timeless landscapes, Oare blends history, nature, and rural tranquility, offering visitors a unique connection to Kent’s heritage.
