About

Lympne and Palmarsh are neighbouring settlements located on the northern edge of the Romney Marsh, just west of Hythe. The area is characterised by a distinct elevation change, with Lympne village situated on a steep escarpment offering broad views over the marshland towards the English Channel. Below, Palmarsh lies on flatter ground closer to the Royal Military Canal, which forms a waterway boundary through the landscape. This creates a clear geographical separation between the elevated, older village and the lower, more dispersed hamlet.

The area is dominated by the historical presence of Lympne Castle, a medieval structure on the hillside, and the nearby Port Lympne Wildlife Park. The park's extensive grounds and animal reserves occupy a significant portion of the land here. The Royal Military Canal path provides a straight, tree-lined route for walking and cycling along the marsh's edge, contrasting with the quiet, narrow lanes that climb the hill into the village centre.
