Clay shooting, with equipment and tuition if required, can be found on certain days at Harty on the south side of the island and also near to the old Kingsferry bridge at Kingsferry Gun Club, Old Sheppey way.
Harty is also where you can visit the tiny, isolated 11th/12th century Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, a hidden gem.
Minster Abbey, or to give it its full title, The Abbey Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Sexburgha, is also just a couple of miles from the farm, where it occupies the highest hilltop position on the otherwise flat Isle of Sheppey and has been a place of worship for over 1,400 years.
