About

The Isle of Oxney ward encompasses the area around the historic Isle of Oxney, a distinct raised landform defined by the surrounding rivers and marshes. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with a network of small lanes connecting farms, orchards, and the villages of Stone-in-Oxney and Wittersham. The terrain is gently undulating, with the land dropping away towards the Romney Marsh to the south and the Rother Levels to the north.

The area is defined by its quiet, rural character. The Royal Military Canal traces its southern boundary, a legacy of the Napoleonic era. Wittersham is home to Tillingham Vineyard, one of the most southerly commercial vineyards in England, situated on the slopes of the former island. Views from the higher ground extend across the flat, expansive marshlands that historically isolated this community.
