The town has a golf course and there is also a museum, entrance to which is free. Romney Marsh is known for its wetland areas, birdlife, wildlife and rural churches which can be reached via a network of footpaths. With Hythe and Folkestone within relatively easy reach, there is plenty to see and do in this part of Kent. Nearby coastal towns worth visiting are Rye and Littlestone-on-Sea.
Once on the coast, because weather conditions altered the path of the River Rother in the 12th century, Lydd now lies 3 miles inland. The 130ft tower of the 'Romney Marsh Cathedral' survived the Second World War and visitors to the largest church in the Romney Marshes can view the fine 15th century screen and 16th century brasses.
A holiday in this part of ‘the Garden of England’ may appeal to those who are looking for that wonderful combination of both coast and country. There are a number of attractive sandy and shingle beaches along the Kent coastline but also much greenery inland. For those who love spending time outdoors, a self-catering holiday in Romney Marsh could be ideal. There are a number of excellent footpaths and cycle lanes in the area. Enjoy country walks whilst looking out for marsh wildlife which includes marsh frogs, water-voles and farmland birds.

If you decide to explore the Kent coastline, a trip to Hythe which is around 13 miles away from Lydd comes highly recommended. Folkestone is a further 3 miles drive past Hythe.
