If you’re wondering why the name of this town is that of a common lunch food, it’s no coincidence! In 1762, the 4th Earl of Sandwich’s refusal to leave his card game lead to the invention of a handheld serving of roast beef sandwiched between two slices of bread. Nowadays, Sandwich is a quaint riverside town with a deep respect for its culture, with most buildings still retaining their famous old architecture.
