About

Romney Marsh ward covers a large rural expanse of the historic marshland, characterised by flat landscapes and extensive drainage channels. The area is primarily agricultural, with scattered villages and hamlets set among fields. This low-lying environment has a distinct sense of openness and sky.

The settlement pattern is dispersed, with communities like Old Romney and Lydd located here. The area's history is deeply tied to land reclamation from the sea. The unique soundscape is often defined by the calls of wetland birds and the constant, low hum of distant electricity infrastructure associated with the local power stations.
