One of the original Cinque Ports, Hythe was chosen by Edward the Confesssor to protect the English coast from invasion in exchange for a cut of the legal fees. As a natural consequence, this ushered in a period of unprecedented prosperity for these settlements, the fruits of which are still visible to this day in Hythe and other towns of similar size. The Royal Military Canal cuts straight through the heart of town. During the Napoleonic period, this was dug to protect against an invasion from France. The grassy banks of this picturesque waterway have become increasingly popular as a place to picnic, relax, and enjoy a break from work. Rent a rowboat and explore the canal and the surrounding area of Kent at your own pace. The beach is only a five-minute walk from the centre of town. Ideal for summer picnics and safe swimming, this expansive promenade looks out over a long stretch of beach and across the English Channel to France. Golf, tennis, riding, bowls, squash, boating, windsurfing, freshwater, and sea angling are just some of the activities available to visitors in Hythe. West of town is Romney Marsh, which can be explored on foot, by car, by bike, or by taking a ride on the tiniest public railway in the world. Visit the nature reserve, the lighthouse, and maybe even catch a glimpse of some painters and artists at work on Dungeness, which is accessible via the Romney, Hythe, and Dymchurch Light Railway, which has its eastern terminus in Hythe.

Kent is affectionately known as the Garden of England. Its history and heritage provide the region with a rich array of sightseeing possibilities, while the stunning choice of Blue Flag beaches offer the chance to enjoy the beautiful coastline.
