The Tale of the Battle of Aylesford
There are many interesting sights you can visit if you want to walk where perhaps Hengist and Horsa did.
Down at Pegwell Bay you can Hugin which is the replica of the Viking boat that was rowed to this location way back in 1949 to commemorate the Hengist and Horsa landings. I always think it is worth remembering what Thanet would have looked like way back in the 5th century.
If you want to see where the Battle of Aylesford took place and where Horsa was slain you can saunter over to Kits Coty outside of Maidstone.
The Upper White House Stone can be found across the A229 near the Shell Garage. Both of these sites are worth visiting as although they may or not have a connection to the actual battle they do have a unique atmosphere to them.
Aylesford itself is a rather splendid little town which has a rather swanky restaurant called Hengist which alas does not lean heavily into Anglo-Saxon cuisine or decor. The pub next door called the The Little Gem is an absolute corker of an establishment.
If any of this fascinating topic has interested you then why not try some of these great books and articles.
