Minster


Minster Leas beach has been awarded Seaside Awards

Minster is Sheppey's highest point so the views are wonderful. The hilltop church and twelfth century Abbey gatehouse remind you that a Benedictine Abbey began here in AD 675.
Today the Gatehouse is a museum of Sheppey's history showing everything from fossils to the honours board of a now-closed local school.
The little village of Minster nestles below and nearby Minster Leas beach is good for surfing.
