Ebbsfleet, Thanet
Ebbsfleet is a hamlet near Ramsgate, Kent, at the head of Pegwell Bay. Historically it was a peninsula on the south coast of the Isle of Thanet, marking the eastern end of the Wantsum Channel that separated Thanet from the rest of Kent.
As Pegwell Bay was a natural harbour on the English coast nearest continental Europe, Ebbsfleet has traditionally been linked to arrivals from Europe. It is associated with the landings of the Saxons/Jutes Hengist and Horsa in 449, the Battle of Wippedesfleot between the Britons and "Saxons" in 465, and the reintroduction of Christianity with Augustine of Canterbury in 597.
Ebbsfleet is the titular see of the Anglican bishop of Ebbsfleet, a provincial episcopal visitor for the Province of Canterbury.
==Geography==
Ebbsfleet Lane marks the line of the peninsula today. The Wantsum Channel silted up and was reclaimed in the 15th century; all that remains of it is the channel of the River Stour, which enters the sea by Richborough power station. There are a couple of houses and Ebbsfleet House at Stonelees, where Ebbsfleet Lane meets the Sandwich road, and Ebbsfleet Farm on the hill behind.
