Zeeland
The province of Zeeland comprises several peninsulas that were once separate islands, as the name of ‘Sea Land’ indicates. It includes Zeeuwsvlaanderen (Sea Land Flanders), a strip of land along the Belgian border.
Zeeland sits mainly on clay intersected with canals and former creeks, while the south of the region is sandy. Outside the dykes, the land is mainly salt marshes and mud flats, while along the coast there are dunes; the largest can be seen on Schouwen-Duiveland, the north coast of Walcheren, and in the south. Despite the impact of the war and the demolition of many old buildings in the ’fifties and ’sixties, the capital Middelburg still has over 1,200 communal and national monuments, most notably the gothic Town Hall, the abbey with its ‘Long John’ tower, and the Arsenal.
Zeeland has the cleanest beaches in the Netherlands as well as the most sunshine. The vast polders etch straight lines into the landscape, but also visible are the outlines of ancient, jagged polders nestling between small dykes. Reminders of Zeeland’s fascinating history are everywhere: fossilised sharks’ teeth on the beach, magnificent merchants’ houses from the Golden Age, and echoes of the dramatic floods of 1953. It’s a wonderful region for hiking, cycling, skating and riding along the dunes, beaches and flower-clad dykes, but also for exploring the mudflats and salt marshes.
