About

Hythe is a coastal town within the Folkestone and Hythe district, situated along the Royal Military Canal. This waterway, constructed as a defence during the Napoleonic Wars, defines much of the area's landscape and provides a route for leisure activities. The town stretches from the canal's path inland to the shoreline, where a long shingle beach and a historic promenade are located. The area includes residential streets that climb the slopes behind the seafront.

The town centre is focused on the High Street, which runs parallel to the canal. Hythe is known for its Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, a miniature steam railway that operates passenger services along the coast. The local economy includes independent shops and services catering to residents. The surrounding area comprises green spaces like the canal towpath and the slopes of the North Downs, which offer views over the town and the English Channel.
