Description - Nestled on the west bank at the mouth of the estuary and only moments from the open sea Warfleet is a hidden gem steeped in maritime history. Contrary to popular belief that the area was named after gatherings of warships, Warfleet actually derives its name from the stream that flows down the valley to the tidal creek. This characterful location boasts a fascinating heritage, from its historic quay that once harboured bustling trade vessels to the preserved lime kilns that stand as testament to the area's industrial past.
