Discover Whitstable: The Ultimate Oyster Retreat
The town of Whitstable, located on the east coast of Kent, has been synonymous with oysters for hundreds of years. In fact, evidence suggests that the Romans in Britain farmed and exported Whitstable oysters to the Imperial Capital 2,000 years ago. TheWhitstable Oyster Festival Associationreports that 2,000-year-old oyster shells excavated in modern Rome have been traced back to Whitstable.
