About

New Romney ward lies on the southern coast of Kent, encompassing the historic town of New Romney and the surrounding Romney Marsh landscape. The area is characterised by flat, expansive marshland, a legacy of medieval reclamation from the sea. The town itself centres around St Nicholas Church, which dates from the Norman period and stands as a testament to the area's long history as a Cinque Port. The urban area is compact, with residential streets radiating from the central High Street.

The wider ward includes the nearby village of Littlestone-on-Sea, which provides direct access to a long stretch of shingle beach along the English Channel. A notable feature is the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, a miniature steam railway that runs through the area, connecting towns along the coast. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with fields divided by drainage ditches known locally as 'dykes', defining the unique, low-lying environment of the marsh.
