Dymchurch is a village and civil parish in the Shepway district of Kent, England. The village is located on the coast five miles south-west of Hythe, and on the Romney Marsh. The history of Dymchurch began with the gradual build-up of the Romney Marsh.New Hall was rebuilt in 1575 after an earlier wooden structure was destroyed in a fire. It was used as a court room for the Romney Marsh area. The head magistrate was known as Leveller of the Marsh Scotts.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, smuggling was rife all along the south-east coast of England. Due to its remote location, Romney Marsh and the surrounding areas were amongst the busiest locations for illicit trade. Inspiration from this gave rise to Dymchurch being the setting of the Doctor Syn novels, based on smuggling, by Russell Thorndike. Every two years a celebration of the novels is held, usually on August Bank Holiday.
Dymchurch played a significant rôle in the Anglo-French Survey (1784–1790), which linked the Royal Greenwich Observatory with the Paris Observatory using trigonometry. There were two base-lines for the English part of the survey, on Hounslow Heath and on Romney Marsh. The Romney Marsh base-line extended from Ruckinge to High Nook, on the sea-wall near Dymchurch.
Several Martello towers were built in the nineteenth century as part of an Empire-wide coastal defence programme: most have since fallen into the sea or become dilapidated. Tower 23 was restored externally in the early 1970s and is currently a private residence. Tower 24 has undergone renovation and using Tower 23 used as a guide: in 1969 it became the first Martello tower to be opened to the public and remains as a museum of Martello Towers, owned by English Heritage.
Two redoubt forts were constructed into the south coast Martello chain to act as supply depots for the local Martellos, and were originally described as eleven-gun towers. A four-gun tower was originally proposed at Dymchurch, but this idea was revised at the Rochester conference of 1804. Dymchurch Redoubt was built between 1806 and 1809 to the same specifications as its Eastbourne counterpart, although Dymchurch does not have any caponiers.
The main road into the village is the A259. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway was originally opened in the 1920s, but closed temporarily during World War Two. Dymchurch railway station was reopened after the war by Laurel and Hardy. Dymchurch has a blue flag awarded sandy beach and is surrounded by mile after mile of flat countryside that is well suited to those who seek to walk or cycle, the village provides an ideal base for visitors to the area.
The Day of Syn celebrates the adventures of the fictional Dymchurch residents of years gone by in their struggles with the excise men, alongside the personal challenges of key characters against circumstance and particular enemies. Dymchurch has had a sea wall since Roman times, with the original development being constructed to protect the harbour at Port Lympne.

Places to see in ( Hythe - UK )
Hythe, is a small coastal market town on the edge of Romney Marsh, in the District of Shepway on the south coast of Kent. The word Hythe or Hithe is an Old English word meaning haven or landing place. Hythe has medieval and Georgian buildings, as well as a Saxon/Norman church on the hill and a Victorian seafront promenade. Hythe was once defended by two castles, Saltwood and Lympne. The town hall, a former guildhall, was built in 1794, its fireplace designed by the Adam Brothers.
Hythe's market once took place in Market Square (now Red Lion Square) close to where there is now a farmers' market every second and fourth Saturday of the month. Hythe has gardening, horse riding, bowling, tennis, cricket, football, squash and sailing clubs. Lord Deedes was patron of Hythe Civic Society, and the hounds of the East Kent Hunt are kennelled in nearby Elham.
As an important Cinque Port Hythe once possessed a bustling harbour which, over the past three hundred years, has now disappeared due to silting. Hythe was the central Cinque Port, sitting between Hastings and New Romney to the west and Dover and Sandwich to the east.
Hythe has no coat of arms; but the corporation seal represents an antique vessel, with one mast, two men in it, one blowing a horn; and two men lying on the yard arm. Hythe is also the birthplace of Mackeson Stout, a type of beer. Hythe Ranges is a military training ground that takes up a large section of the Hythe shoreline. Access to this section of the shore is restricted when red flags are showing.
The Royal Military Canal runs across the northern edge of the marsh, to Winchelsea. Running under Stade Street, the canal, intended to repel invasion during the Napoleonic wars of 1804 to 1815, gives central Hythe its character. Now shaded by trees, the canal, 10 yards wide, passes into the marsh from the middle of the town. The canal begins at Seabrook and runs through Hythe. It follows the original haven that was once Hythe's harbour as far as the light railway thence across Romney Marsh to Winchelsea. Its 26-mile length can be walked.
Hythe was once defended by two castles, Saltwood and Lympne. Saltwood derives its name from the village in its shadow. During the reign of King Canute the manor of Saltwood was granted to the priory of Christ Church in Canterbury, but during the 12th century it became home of Henry d'Essex, constable of England.

London's most Magical Place you must visit
If it's May and you're in London, you must visit the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park. I call it London's Garden of Eden. It's a peaceful floral sanctuary. If you haven't heard bird song in you part of the city lately, you ears will be overwhelmed with clear, melodious bird song.
Easily accessible from central London by train and bus. You can use your Oyster Card all the way there and back.
Train: Waterloo to Kingston on South West trains.
Bus: From outside Kingston station, take the 85 bus towards Putney. Get off at Warren Road bus stop, about an 8 min ride. When you get off the bus, walk towards the back of the bus on the same side as the bus stop. Approx 20 feet turn right in to the short road. You can see the gate into the park as soon as you turn into the road. The gate is about 20 yards from the bus stop. Read the map inside the gate. It's about a 12-15 min walk to the gate into the plantation. (The garden is walled to prevent the deer who live in the park from eating the whole place.)
