A walk along the beach at Camber Sands on New Year's Day 2005. A great place to blow the cobwebs away !
Camber is a small holiday village lying on the western edge of the Romney Marsh and lies on what once was an island which had its main habitation at Lydd. Its name is derived from La Chambre, which described the protected harbour which lay inland, this changed to the Camera then the Camber.
Camber was known as a good place for smugglers and goods were landed at Jew's Gut (Jury Gut) just to the south of the village and also on Camber beach, where the dunes provided good cover.
