Welcome to Lydd on Sea

Lydd-on-Sea is a small coastal town located in the county of Kent, England. The town is situated on the eastern coast of Romney Marsh, which is a large area of flat, low-lying land that is surrounded by sea walls. The town is known for its beautiful beaches, which are popular with tourists and locals alike. The town has a rich history, and there are many historic buildings and landmarks to explore.

One of the most popular attractions in Lydd-on-Sea is the beach. The town has several beaches, including the main beach, which is a long stretch of sand that is perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The beach is also popular with water sports enthusiasts, and there are many opportunities for windsurfing, kite surfing, and sailing. The town also has a small harbour, which is home to a number of fishing boats and pleasure craft.

Lydd-on-Sea is also home to several historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable is the St Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture, and it is well worth a visit. Other historic buildings in the town include the Old School House, which was built in the 19th century, and the Martello Tower, which was built in the early 19th century to defend the coast against French invasion.
