About

Walland & Denge Marsh is a large, low-lying ward dominated by expansive agricultural land and Romney Marsh landscape. It contains the villages of Brookland, Snargate, and Brenzett, which are connected by a network of rural lanes. The area is primarily characterised by farmland, drainage ditches, and wide, open skies, with a sparse population spread across isolated farms and small settlements.

A very specific feature is the presence of the historic Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, a miniature steam railway that runs through the marsh. The remote Denge Marsh is also known for its acoustic mirrors, large concrete structures built as early warning devices. Economic activity is centred on agriculture, particularly sheep grazing, reflecting the ward's essentially rural character.
