A Romney Marsh Road trip through Kent, taking in the coast along the way (Pt1/2)

Our next destination is the historic Cinque Port town of New Romney, with tales of changing fortunes and quaint streets.

Finally, we head on to Dungeness, again via the coast road, through Littlestone & Greatstone.

We'll pick up Dungeness and head further into the Romney Marshes in Part 2, but that's another story.

Your vids have just popped up on my feed. An East Kent lad now living in Australia, I have really enjoyed the West Malling vid and the Romney marsh vids, both old haunts for me and the wife. Feeling a bit homesick now😂❤

Recovering from flu was able to enjoy this gentle trip through an area I have read about but never visited. Loved it. Thank you.

Very enjoyable and well made video.
I know the area of Hythe and Dymchurch well. I grew up from child to young adult spending my wonderful summer holidays (when UK summers where hot and 4/5 months long).
My beloved late mother used to take me to Pipers holiday camp (not sure if it is still there) and later through family recommendation, we started to take our holidays at New Beach Caravan Park (back then it wasn't owned by a 'multinational' leisure company as is now) owned by a family who lived above the clubhouse building. It was also neighboured by the old Neptune Pub (which I believe has also been taken over by the same company.

There was no pedestrian crossing outside the camp (but beck in the 70's there was hardly any traffic) so you just dodged across to the beach with its old 'curved' sea defence walls which have since been covered by defence boulders...even the wooden bus shelters have gone (which gave the feel you were in the countryside).I have nothing but great, happy childhood memories of escapism from London and adventures in that wonderful place. One being my niece, I and two dogs walking from Hythe road New Beach, through country lanes all the way up to Lympne Castle. Such a wonderful nostalgic time.

Fabulous video. I have a lot of family in New Romney. Next time you’re down it’s worth turning right on St Mary’s Road before you enter the town. It’s a long meandering road that eventually reaches the small village of St Mary’s in the Marsh. The Star Inn is nice and the church is beautiful. Thanks for showing the Marsh. Al x

England of old, great video love Kent.

Oh how it’s built up along from Greatstone

My gran and grandpa had a place on the coast road at greatstone ust before turning up to old BR railway station.

Used to go down for holidays 50 years ago

All my paternal family from Great Grandfather back, who moved to Greenwich in the late 1800s were all born and lived around Romney Marsh and Ashford.
All farm workers.
My Great Grandfather managed to go from farm labouerer to Tenant farmer in the village of Newchurch.

I'm hoping to visit and check out the churchyard to see if I can find any relatives gravestone.

@7::10 Looking at the right hand side of the road to a field you will find Sheep and… 5 Emu’s!!!

[lucieni]

@7:23 The left hand turn skirts around the edge of Littlestone golf course leading to the beach but it’s not the most exciting place to land.

Lovely video. Well done. Mispronunciation of “Cinque Port” however. Not pronounced the French way. Should be pronounced “Sink Port”.
