Wantsum Channel
The
Wantsum Channel
was a
strait
separating the
Isle of Thanet
from the north-eastern extremity of the English county of
Kent
and connecting the
English Channel
and the
Thames Estuary
. It was a major shipping route when Britain was part of the
Roman Empire
, and continued in use until it was closed by
silting
in the late
Middle Ages
. Its course is now represented by the
River Stour
and the
River Wantsum
, which is little more than a drainage ditch lying between
Reculver
and
St Nicholas-at-Wade
and joins the Stour about south-east of
Sarre
.
