Welcome to Romney Marsh

Romney Marsh is a unique and picturesque area located in the county of Kent, England. It is a low-lying, flat area that is surrounded by the English Channel, the Rother River, and the Walland Marsh. The area is known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and diverse wildlife. The marsh is home to a variety of rare and endangered species, including the European eel, the marsh harrier, and the great crested newt.

The Romney Marsh area has a long and fascinating history. It was once a thriving center of trade and commerce, with many small towns and villages dotted throughout the marsh. The area was also a popular destination for smugglers, who used the marsh's many hidden coves and inlets to evade the authorities. Today, visitors can explore the area's rich history by visiting the many historic buildings and landmarks that are scattered throughout the marsh.

One of the most popular attractions in Romney Marsh is the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. This historic railway line runs for 13.5 miles through the heart of the marsh, offering visitors a unique and unforgettable way to experience the area's stunning landscapes and wildlife. The railway line is home to a variety of rare and endangered species, including the marsh harrier, the great crested newt, and the European eel. Visitors can also explore the many small towns and villages that are located along the railway line, each with its own unique history and charm.
